9 p.m., A report from Tarrant HQ

Here's Jill Fahy with the latest from Tarrant headquarters:

The former St. Mike's basketball star borrowed from football great Vince Lombardi in a characteristically upbeat speech -- even though he was conceding his loss of the U.S. Senate race.

"Winners get knocked down more than losers but they get up far more often," he quoted Lombardi as the crowd cheered and chanted "Tarrant, Tarrant."

He said the state has spoken and congratulated Bernie Sanders and wished him the best of luck in Washington. "We were running an uphill battle."

About 150 Tarrant supporters had gathered at a South Burlington hotel and many stayed and danced after the concession.

"We still believe in Tarrant and we're not letting it get us down," said Ginger Isham of Williston, one of the dancers.,

did they show the concession speach on CAX?

Did I miss it?
 
can I buy it on DVD? I want to play it on a repeating loop.
 
Hey Candy, it's 9 PM, not 9 AM.
 
I think that Cris Ericson ran an excellent campaign. She's got a future in Vermont politics.
 
Alas, finally the ads have been laid to rest.
 
Vermont has spoken, wow.
 
Vermont has spoken?? All the flatlanders that moved into my beautifull state have spoken. This state has gone down the tubes ever since Bernie was elected mayor in Burlington.
 
More insults for the voters.

As a native Vermonter, I can tell you that lots of us are glad to see Richie return to Florida.

He can try to buy a senate seat there in two years.
 
he can re-use the signs!
 
That was bad, but I laughed.
 
They were an eyesore for too many months. I am ready to see them off! Bon voyage!
