Imagine this....
Kerry wins the electoral vote while losing the popular vote by 3% (or whatever it wound up being).

Apart from the delicious irony, Kerry would be a huge target from today onward. With the Senate and House results, he'd get little to none of his agenda accomplished. At best he would be the compromiser-in-chief, which could actually have depolarized the environment some.

Now the Repubs and the country have made their bed. Time will tell how comfortable it is...

2. Imagine this...
The election was stolen and that 4 million vote margin is entirely manufactured... In fact I think that was the plan....

That is why I suggest we do our best to find GWB's extra 8 million votes... find those and find a pattern and you have proof.

The same thought occurred to me last night regarding Kerry. Had he won Ohio the republicans would have taken all the close blue states to recount and thrown the hissy fit of the century.

3. An "Emotional Band Aid"
The integrity of the democratic process and particularly the counting of votes should never be compromised for political convenience.
