State of denial is an understatement...they are delusional.
They think Kerry is going to Iraq next month (take into account that next month is January and the Inauguration is the 20th), so that he can plan his strategy for when he becomes President after the Ohio recount shows him the winner.
Do you get the feeling a lot of these DU folks were very spoiled as kids. Their parents never told them "No" so they just can't accept not getting their way?
