Re: Bob Dole’s commentary (BDN, Nov. 15) asking Al Gore to “do the right thing.”

As Dole pointed out, both Nixon in 1960 and Ford in 1976 chose to do the right thing and not put this country through what Gore is doing now by not conceding gracefully.

If Gore truly cares about our country, he should bow out now and do whatever is necessary to help bring us back to a united nation as should Bush also.
