1. AI Gore's Concession Speech

Good evening. Just moments ago, I spoke with George W Bush and congratulated him on becoming the 43rd president of the United States, and I promised him that I wouldn't call him back this time.I offered to meet with him as soon as possible so that we can start to heal the divisions of the campaign and the contest through which we just passed.
