So how about recounts in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin, where the margin was much closer than in Ohio?

Why did Kerry fold? That's what you get when you nominate a surrender monkey.

The Democrats are so ridiculous. I am tired of this horsebleep and all the whining. If Lurch thought he had a chance to win he would be counting all the votes and dead voters in OH.

The Kool Aid Drinkers can't face the fact they LOST! So they're trying to spin hypothetical scenarios of an alternative timeline to give them hope its not as bad as they think. Denial of reality is the last hope of the delusional.

"Why did Kerry fold?"

Because he knew the truth none of the hysteric brain dead Bush Haters in the "News Media" ARE EVEN NOW willing to admit. No matter how much you wish it, no matter how many times your recount them, BUSH STILL wins.

Illinois? Didn't Obama get over 1 million votes from Bush voters?

"(What happened to the guy who won all those medals because he turned his Swift boat into enemy fire rather than retreat when the odds were against him?)"

He founded SwiftBoat Veterns for Truth. His name is John O'Neill. John Kerry is the one who ran, turning so fast and sharply his beer-drinking buddy fell off into the water.

because of Mr. Kerry’s hasty cave-in, his post-election, pre-emptive surrender. (What happened to the guy who won all those medals because he turned his Swift boat into enemy fire rather than retreat when the odds were against him?)

LOL, he never existed, you morons. You leftists spent so much time trying to convince everyone else that he was some kind of hard-ass war hero that you finally fooled yourselves.

I am still in shock the networks did not call the election that night. It was really not all that close. 130,000 votes is a significant victory in the state the size of Ohio.

Well he has time for it since he does no work in the Senate, and now Teresa won't touch him. Maybe he has a "Monica" tucked away.

......Why did Kerry fold?......

It's pretty simple really. Someone convinced him to gracefully retreat and fight another day.

What happened is that ACT and the NAACP voting arms got nailed by the FBI and the US Attorney, and they were put on ice "just in case".
I guess the NAACP voting arm involving crack for votes goes to the friend of the NAACP Cleveland Chapter's President.
In other words, Kerry got caught and it would have been very public.

Is this what we have come to with Democrats-endless whining, endless court battles and endless recounting? It would seem to me losing the popular vote by three million votes would make them perhaps question their behavior and/ or message, but no...they'd rather drag this country through the mud. I'd rather vote for a....yellow dog than vote for a Democrat. I used to be a Democrat. I am ashamed to have belonged to such an ethically challenged party- a party that doesn't care about the American people or their country.

Good God. If Kerry gets involved in this now, he'll look like a bigger horse's ass than this psycho columnist. Get over it!

Why did John Kerry concede?

Maybe he knew that a close examination of all the votes in Ohio would expose Democratic voter fraud, and open President Bush's lead even more.

Many of us believe that the Swift Vets had a nuclear explosion of data that would have ruined Kerry ready to be released if Kerry didn't concede.

This data would have destroyed Kennedy and many of the current rats elites who have based their political lives on hating America from the Nam era. Kerry was given an offer he couldn't refuse and that he and the elite rats decided to end it.

And it’s that lack of exactitude, that lack of confidence, that has engendered the paranoia and alienation from the political process that may never be healed.

Nope. It's the fact that they lost. If the vote count had been exactly reversed, does anyone really think the Left would be obsessing about whether the vote count was exactly correct? That is what the author is claiming here, that his concern was about the process, not the outcome.

Despite his hypocrisy, he makes some good points. Our election processes should be cleaner and less complex. But that is to some extent a consequence of the fact that we don't have a voting system, we have 51 voting systems. This is due to federalism, an example of one of its weaknesses.

But federalism has so many advantages, I'm unwilling to weaken it further just so everything will be neater and tidier on election day.

I would still like to know who "Dick Tracy" voted for.

Exactly who won the cartoon vote anyway?

Actually, John Kerry ruined his pristine image when he testified falsely before the Senate in 1971. The Left wants the margin of victory for Bush to come from religious extremists, not from veterans and other people outraged at Kerry's conduct during the Vietnam War, his record of undermining the U.S. since then, or his attempt to portray himself as the greatest American war hero since Alvin York.

There is something very ominous and revealing about the MSM's never-ending coverage on individuals too upset to move on from Election2004.

It shows THEIR OWN frustration with the results and in a way... continues the myth that George W. Bush is not really a president - of the people.

Their tone from now, until Election2008, will be to further assault Bush... and most importantly, the Republican Party and conservatives. Every day will be devoted to creating the impression that America will just have to wait til 2008 before 'real', Democrat leadership, can lead the nation away from the abyss!

Kerry lost... and Democrats nationwide lost... but the MSM will not let them die!
