Serious question here? [View all]

Does any one have some history and links about concession speeches and/ or endorsements of a winning candidate for President? Are they always week long meetings held over when, where and how it happens?

I guess my main question, is there always a negotiation before the candidate that lost endorses? Are terms negotiated, ie: I will endorse if you give me this and that?

Is this the norm?

Please, this is an honest question and I would love DU's input. Yes this stems from the HC/BS campaign. I want to know if this is unique or the norm.

TIA
