This 55,000 number repeated by Kerry and the MSM is bogus. And so incredibly illustrative of the DUmmie party's problems.
First of all, the final tally was 126,885, divided by 2 is 63,443 (rounded up); but it only DUmmie insanity can explain how "55,000" Bush voters would magically switch to Kerry.
The real number is, was, and will be, for all history, for Kerry to have come up with 126,886 additional voters, which would place it just under the population of Dayton (166,179) as Ohio's 7th-largest city!
You lost, bitch, now MoveOn.
ROFLOL!
But, but...he COULD HAVE WON, says Kerry. ROFLOL! He is worse than Gore!
