Another democratic sore loser...The Kerry camp refuses to concede Ohio- despite the fact that Bush leads by 150, 000 votes, and we haven't even counted the absentee ballots which will go heavy to Bush (since they're mostly military votes that always go Republican.) Take into account these "provisional ballots," of which they estimate there might be 150, 000- you have to figure that not even half of these will be counted as legitimate ballots, and even if Kerry won 100% (something that can't possibly happen) of these, it wouldn't pass Bush's lead. So, the Kerry camp is sending tons of lawyers to Ohio to drag this out...and on top of all of this, Bush leads Kerry in the nationwide popular vote by over 3 million votes, which means Kerry would have no support by any reasonable people to drag this out like this.
Also, you have to consider that Bush has won over 50% of the vote (Clinton didn't even do this), AND he has set the record for the largest popular vote total over- surpassing Reagan's record.
All of these facts combine to make it impossible for Kerry to not admit defeat.
When Nevada and New Mexico come in 100%, and Bush takes these two states, he'll be over 270, and Kerry should then concede. It makes him and all democrats look like petty sore losers.
