Some people have it, some people don't. Take, for example, the way George Allen responded to losing an election by less than 1/4 of 1% versus the way that Al Gore responded to losing Florida. Or the way Conrad Burns handled losing versus the way John Kerry did. Or the way Conservative bloggers and supporters acted this year, versus the way liberal ones did in both 2000 and 2004. Even though there were incidents of irregularities in Pennsylvania, Rick Santorum did not threaten to take legal action. He called his opponent to congratulate him on his victory. On the other side, you have Coleen Rowley who never did call her opponent to congratulate him on his win Tuesday night.

When Republicans lose elections they say "what did we do wrong?". When Democrats lose elections they say "the Republicans cheated.". Will the voters pay attention to any of this?
