I find it a pity that he conceded so early. Despite the results that were mostly against our side, still there was hope that the future would be bright. I respect his graciousness, but not his timing, nor his backing down.
The combination of an excellent provision showing and a perturbation of the results in a recount was his only real chance for victory in Ohio. I am certain that if by some miracle the provisionals move Ohio close enough to invoke an automatic recount and the recount gives Kerry Ohio, Kerry will accept the presidency, and he doesn't need a bunch of lawsuits to get that done. I am pleasantly surprised that he didn't wait until Nov. 13 for the provisionals to be counted to conceed, myself. A smooth ending to the election is much more important than which if those two yahoos is president.
