Credit to South Carolina Democrat L.G. candidate Robert Barber for graciously conceding defeat to Republican L.G. Andre Bauer yesterday. 

Democrat Robert Barber conceded the race for lieutenant governor to Republican incumbent Andre Bauer on Friday, endorsing the results of a statewide recount that showed Barber fell short by 3,108 votes.

“I am ending our campaign today,” said Barber, surrounded by his family. “The votes have been counted and recounted. It’s time to move on.”

Barber said he had resisted “hard-core partisans” who wanted him to “fight to the bitter end” by dragging the election results into court…

To recap – Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 were all about Democrat AG Mike Hatch’s losing his race for Governor in Minnesota.  Chapter 3 was about Wisconsin Democrat Kathleen Falk’s being unable to find the concede button in her race for attorney general.  Chapter 4 was about Beau Biden’s Dad Joe being upset that another U.S. Senator had the cajones to campaign for Beau’s Republican opponent for A.G. in Delaware.  Chapter 5 – finally a Democrat who goes out with class.
