1962 … The California governor race … Here’s the loser:

But as I leave you, I want you to know – just think how much you’re going to be missing me. You don’t have Nixon to kick around anymore because gentlemen, this is my last press conference and I hope that what I will have said today will at least make television, radio, the press recognize that they have a right and a responsibility, if they’re against a candidate, give him the shaft, but also recognize if they give him the shaft put one lonely reporter on the campaign who will report what the candidate says now and then.

Of course, Richard Nixon’s famous “last press conference” in November 1962 was hardly his last press conference. And he sure got kicked around a whole lot more. But the notorious speech itself is a classic of an under-appreciated yet thoroughly enjoyable category of political rhetoric: the concession speech.

As we near the end of the 2026 mid-term election, we’ll soon be enjoying a whole new crop of non-presidential candidate concession speeches. And that makes this an ideal time for the C-SPAN podcast “Extreme Mortman” to appreciate the bounty of concession speeches with which we’ve already been blessed.

Yes — it’s time to consider the losers:

Which losers were gracious?

Which losers were angry?

Which losers used foul language?

Who, like Nixon, was bitter?

And who, unlike Nixon, refused even to concede?
