1. He's a shallow, bitter and stupid little man.
My guess is he'll assert his concerns that we made a mistake and we'll pay for it down the road or something to that effect. No way he'll be gracious and conciliatory. He's too much of a shit.

2. I think he'll say...
"It's not my fault". Then he'll blame it on Clinton.

3. I think he'll pull a Nixon in 1962.
George isn't accustomed to losing. Bitterness galore.

8. He gave his :"You Won't Have Nixon to Kick Around" speech...
when he lost his race for Governor of California in 1962.

12. Bush is actually quite used to losing..........
or should I say 'failing', he's just not used to his failures sticking.

Think Vietnam, the oil business, Election 2000, Iraq, etc.

19. I agree, Harpo. Maybe a much delayed concession speech weeks after...
When his handlers cool him down.

14. What concerns me most about his capitulation speech is whether he pledges
to do everything in his power to make the transition smooth and to maintain the security of the nation during the changeover.

I want him to say something like ' you can count on me to do my duty during the transition.'

15. "We will now be under martial law"
Just kidding.

Everything aside, I kinda think Bush is looking forward to retirement. Just think of all the money the dumb bastard will make in the private sector, with virtually no stress except for the weight of his own personal demons.

23. I doubt he'll happily transition into retirement
Granted, I'm no phsychologist, but a loss in this election is going to be a kick right in the Oedipal complex for *. He's going to be devastated, sulky, and angry at the world.

As far as a concession speech goes, don't expect one until the lawyers have exhausted every possible avenue to throw out democratic votes or obstruct the process in swing states.

17. "The election didn't happen, I am still President..."
"I have received a message from God, telling me that I can not leave the white house - that the country needs me. Therefore, on Jan 20, 2005, there will NOT be an inauguration, just business as usual with me as Fuhrer...err..I mean President. Any detractors will be shot on site".

18. He'll vere off on his usual terrerist, OBL, crap..his speech will be
hard to comprehend,as usual, verbal gaffes and he'll say it all with extremely unfriendly pursed lips. Meanwhile the two jennas will stand behind him making faces at the brilliant Kerry, Edwards daughters. They'll stick out their ugly tounges at the little Edwards kids.
Maturity doesn't fall far from the tree.

The Bush bloodline is a rotted throughout.
They represent nothing American.

22. He will make an appeal to bipartisanship
When it becomed obvious that they have lost, they will reference the nastyness and make an appeal for the Democrats to try and work with them, hoping that they won't be cut out of the process like they did to the Democrats for the past four years.

24. Chimp will never concede.
He will never admit he lost. He'll have to be forcibly removed from the WH on Jan. 20th.
