Did Hoffman Concede to Soon?

Several blogs are reporting that Conservative Doug Hoffman may have conceded the race in the 23rd Congressional District last week too soon!

Nice Deb reports:

The race will be decided by the 10,200 absentee ballots that were distributed, including thousands of military and overseas ballots.

As Jim Geraghty has noted, “it would be really tough to make up a 3,000-vote margin in a three-way race among 10,000 absentee ballots”.

But not impossible. Stay tuned.


My question. Why did Mr. Hoffman concede before all the ballots were counted? Was it because of inexperience in the political world?

Michelle Malkin weighs in:
…let it be a lesson to conservative challengers not to concede until the last ballot is counted.
The nation’s health may depend on it.
