64. Remember Kerry was a prosecutor
And he knows unlike television that thinking a crime was committed is not enough. Unlike television, in the real world crimes are committed everyday that go unprosecuted for lack of evidence. Even if George Bush stole Ohio, Florida and numerous stray votes around the country to give him a 3 million vote lead, no one will believe it without real evidence. Motive and opportunity is not enough to convict. Violation of the laws are probability only are suspicious, not proof. Excuse me for being pessimistic, but Kerry is in a difficult position. To attempt to prove something that 80% of the public does not believe, without looking like a nut if he can not find enough direct evidence.
