So why did Kerry cave in so soon?

[joanne]

I still havent recovered from the speedy concession.

There is more and more evidence of massive fraud.

So what gives?

[bemildred]

1. My guess is that, unlike last time, the fraud was so egregious

that it was decided that ANY public or legal examination of the election
was too risky. I mean, they did have to use the USSC last time to fix
it, and a second time there would be worse than this attempted stonewall.

2. Because the machines gave * a 3.5 mill vote cushion. And Kerry..

would have seemed very foolish and out of touch by contesting the results.

6. 110K "vapor votes" in 31 red states = 3,41 million

of course some of the smaller states would have to be "adjusted", but in bigger states LIKE FLORIDA, the extra could easily be camouflaged.

The mandate is a phony number that had to be there to disguise the fraud, and dissuade an uproar..

3. He's a political coward.

It's why the Republican media wanted him nominated.

4. I've come to the conclusion that he bailed to save his political career

I've also come to the conclusion that his motivations for voting for the IWR were exactly the same.

5. the swift boat vets and the flip-flop wavers wer right I guess

either that or the entire thing was a sham.
