NEW YORK— Here’s an interesting little sidebar of our system of government confirmed recently by the crack Countdown research staff: no Presidential candidate’s concession speech is legally binding. The only determinants of the outcome of election are the reports of the state returns boards and the vote of the Electoral College.
That’s right. Richard Nixon may have phoned John Kennedy in November, 1960, and congratulated him through clenched teeth. But if the FBI had burst into Kennedy headquarters in Chicago a week later and walked out with all the file cabinets and a bunch of employees with their raincoats drawn up over their heads, nothing Nixon had said would’ve prevented him, and not JFK, from taking the oath of office the following January.
This is mentioned because there is a small but blood-curdling set of news stories that right now exists somewhere between the world of investigative journalism, and the world of the Reynolds Wrap Hat. And while the group’s ultimate home remains unclear - so might our election of just a week ago.
Stories like these have filled the web since the tide turned against John Kerry late Tuesday night. But not until Friday did they begin to spill into the more conventional news media.

I'd like to see the "sexiest" talking head talk without his hairpiece on that head. Then let's see how sexy Olberman is to viewers, and all the liberal women. Mu guess is that the sexiest newscaster vote is the one that needs a recount, not the Bush/Kerry election. Hahaha.
My guess, not mu guess. Way past my bedtime.
Sounds as though many of the so-called insurgents got out of Fallujah before we came in- but that's ok- they'll be more isolated wherever they go now- easier picken's..I hope.
Chrissy was priceless election night! Keith was worth watching- just for the meltdown quality- but there's enough of that going around everywhere- it's easy enough to find:)
If we are encountering heavy resistance ..they did not all leave.
pssst, Keith. Kerry conceded. Why? He knew what what be found if election fraud was probed. Not only in Ohio either. Let it go. You stand way more to lose. See ya in 4 years. Now, run away quickly......
