27. The problem with this strategy is that the public isn't watching any more.

They "know" how the election turned out - popular vote and electoral vote, both for Bush. Our local paper, not particularly Republican, headlined the results, "No Dispute This Time." What kind of a smoking gun do they think they're going to come up with, that the media can't pooh-pooh and the courts can't take away from them? We could have argued this out - is democracy important any more or not? But now we have ceded the argument, as far as the public is concerned, and anyone who reopens it is automatically a conspiracy theory nut.
