Seals the deal

George Allen just conceded defeat in the Virginia race for Senate.

We all know that I don't particularly like the man or his politics, but he just went up slightly in my estimation -- and not because he lost, but rather in how he handled the loss. This commment, in particular, got my attention:

"I do not wish to cause more litigation that would not alter the results," Allen said, adding that he saw "no good purpose being served by continuously and needlessly expending money and causing any more personal animosity."

You just gotta respect that.
