Indulge me while I look for hidden messages in Kerry's Concession Speech:

THE GOOD PART OF HIS CONCESSION:

"In America it is vital that every vote count and that every vote be counted. But the outcome should be decided by voters, not a protracted legal process. "

MY INTERPRETATION: We voters need to see that everything is counted correctly. Part of the voter's right is going to the county and state election boards and getting recounts if there is doubt. We are not going to the courts to decide. We are just asking for a recount by the authorities in charge of the voting process...not the courts.

THE BAD PART OF THE CONCESSION:
I would not give up this fight if there was a chance that we would prevail. But it is now clear that even when all the provisional ballots are counted, which they will be, there won't be enough outstanding votes for us to be able to win Ohio. And therefore we cannot win this election.

MY INTERPRETATION: We ain't gonna win Ohio no matter what so give it up.

so?

Kerry seemed really upset before and during the speech. It took him over a minute to get his microphones adjusted right. During the speech, he accidental hit the microphones with one of his hands. He is usually stiff, but fairly graceful. I think he knows that we are in for a really bad time if the voting fraud is not pushed. I wonder if he was personally threatened before the speech.

Kerry's personal assistant set the microphones for him before the speech (I saw him do it on the tv). Them JE came out and adjusted them because he is not as tall as JK. JK had to re-adjust them himself.

I think the threat thing is a bit far fetched. We're talking about a man who served in Vietnam, who investigated Iran Contra and BCCI.

He came out first and had a fiery speech. I remember the word rage and there was definately anger.

Then Kerry came out and spoke in an entirely different tone, the worst part being when he mentioned speaking with Bush about everyone working together.

Surely they were aware of each others speeches. I was encouraged by Edwards speech and let down by Kerry's. But why such a difference?
