is contradictory.

If we chose him to lead us, then he needs to lead. If this is bigger than him, then why is his being a target an issue at all? He should do the right thing.

How can being forceful about the unfairness of people standing in line for hours on end make him a target? And who cares if he's a target if it's not about the election being overturned.

And whatever logic there is behind it, he has already lost scores of votes because he has "seemed" so meek and silent about all of it.

He could show more outrage over how people were treated based on objective facts and still avoid looking like he's got on a tin foil hat.

Gore might have been vilified but that was because he conceded too quickly based on bogus information and from that moment on he was the challenger and not on equal footing to see what the real outcome was.

Kerry did the same thing. He conceded right away, based on partial counts, and has let bush run with the ball.

So the MSM and the majority of the country want to move on beyond the election.

Only Kerry could have made this an issue the MSM want to pay attention to, and only Kerry could make the recounts happen in a timely manner, and only Kerry has the money and resources to fight fraud in several states. He has held his money while the glibs pay for everything.

I have only lately come to this realization, and it's painful. But there is no grand strategy beyond being a viable candidate in 2008.

And it's this strategy that hurts his chances in 2008.
