Deep Thoughts on Quotes

I've noticed that I have an affinity for concession speeches. There are several more quotes from concession speeches coming up in the queue.

In his NYT Postmortem, Bob Kerrey told Hillary Clinton to write her concession speech early, as it would be her best speech of the campaign. Concession speeches allow a candidate to fully explain the meaning of their campaign, freed from the constraints of having to address the events in the campaign, or to worry too much about offending some group of voters. That makes a lot of sense.

But my quotes aren't like that — I just enjoy the bitterness of the ordeal.
