20. I believe it comes down to leadership on all levels of the Dem party...
...starting at the very top. Dems were ready to rumble in 2000...until Gore's DLC team (Lieberman & Co) advised him that it wouldn't 'look good'. But that didn't stop the Bushies from getting their thugs into the streets to 'shut down' the recount.

In 2004 you had Kerry concede the very next morning. How can you fight when the 'main event' is cancelled?

It all comes down to this: either the Dem leadership has been paid off or they're just not very good leaders.
