In his first media appearance since election night, PC Leader Ches Crosbie backed off explosive comments six days ago, when he refused to concede to the Liberals. "We are all only human, and I intend to revert to my normal, statesmanlike composure," said Crosbie on Wednesday afternoon. Asked if alcohol consumption affected his behaviour election night, he said, "It was purely a matter of the passion of the moment, the heat of the election campaign, and the unclarity of the outcome." "I am not conceding victory to the Liberals," Ches Crosbie told his supporters tonight as the election wrapped up.#nlvotes #nlpolihttps://t.co/T2iiLEnph8 pic.twitter.com/nndX47Mdgt —@CBCNLDelayed concession?
