If a candidate believes they are the best candidate, and they believe a clear winner has not yet been determined, then they should continue their campaign efforts. That is the lesson of Al Gore; do not give up just because it comforts some for you to do so. Instead, fight for your vision to be realized, until there is no reasonable doubt that it won't. It is up to the candidate to define what reasonable is, not his/her detractors.
This is a natural part of the democratic process, there will be contentious moments. Be thankful the system is working. Be thankful that compromised votes, like those in Florida and Michigan did not destroy the credibility of the election process.
Just an aside: How many elections is Florida going to botch up and ruin???
What's the hurry?
