Democrat Candidates Concede 2004 Election to Bush

(2003-06-28) -- Each of the several dozen Democrat presidential
candidates today delivered formal concession speeches, acknowledging
that there's "no imaginable scenario" for any of them to win the White
House in 2004.

"It's really just a pragmatic decision," said DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe.
"President Bush is going to spend $170 million campaigning before the
Republican convention. Why should we throw millions down a rat hole
when we can just hunker down and wait for Hillary in 2008?"

In related news, a grassroots organization announced today that it
would lobby for legislation requiring Congress to give the Democrat
party enough money to match Republican spending. News releases
about the effort were emailed to editors from .
