The tradition in an election is for a network to call a winner, then the loser concedes. When it was clear President Bush had been re-elected, with Nevada going for Bush...why did they wait until Kerry conceded to call it?

Was it because they knew if they called it, then Bush topped 270? Isn't that what is supposed to happen?
