HMMMMM Wonder what is going on? Maybe this time they have learned to follow the high road.

At least there is no mob like last time.

1. Gore never had a mob. What ARE you talking about?

5. Gore took a lot of criticism for not conceding.
They called him a sore loser even though that was not the case. I suspect this is being done in the back room with no Republican or Democratic counter mobs.

Just speculation, but the silence from the Kerry campaign is very interesting.

3. I've been thinking it's awfully quiet.
I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm wondering if it happens today, or waits until next week.

7. The Kerry concession really means nothing.
There were an awful lot of lawyers, poll watchers out there. .....and they are very quiet.

6. That's because Bush and his cohorts are the mob
What is there to say and to whom? The media follows Bush around like puppy dogs and they don't talk to Dem's anymore than they ever have.

8. possible strategy...
If the Democrats had become shrill like rightwing radio likes to portray them, claiming fraud, many people would have turned this off due to election burnout.

Letting this settle gives Bush time to pull some shit like he did at his press conference. I don't know if anything is being investigated or is possibly going down but if it does it will make more of an impact after a period of silence.

It's a thought. Dunno if it's happening.
