  1. I ran for office in 2006 (WV House of Delegates). My district was pretty small (roughly 6500 voters in 24 precincts in part of one county). When you are in that campaign bubble, it is easy to convince yourself that you will win, because you won't encounter many who will flat out tell you they're voting against you, so I was confident of victory that night. When the polls closed, the candidates gathered at the courthouse waiting for the results. After the fourth batch of preceints came in, I knew that there weren't nearly enough votes left to make up the deficit (if they had said which precincts were coming in and I saw that I wasn't hitting my numbers, I would have known much sooner), and knowing that the last batch of results would come in soon, I told the press that I would make a statement and be available for interviews after all of the precincts came in. When the numbers came in, I congratulated my opponent and wished him the best of luck for the people of our county and our state. I gave a radio and newspaper interview where I freely conceded and only had good things to say about my opponent, even though we didn't agree on much of anything. I get more than most people here how hard a concession can be, but it is the right thing to do and your responsibility to the winner and to democracy. I have no respect for these spoiled brats who refuse. If I could at 27, what is your excuse?
