I haven't seen this posted yet; sorry if it has & I overlooked it. :)
So that's it, then. Like John Kerry says, it's time to get over it. Move on. Get on with our lives and our jobs -- let the healing begin.
Sounds good, John. But I don't intend to budge until all the votes are counted, because when I started this journey I committed for the long haul. Jumping ship to avoid putting the country through the "agony" of investigating and challenging another sordid election coup de`etat would never occur to me -- especially if I had 17,000 lawyers fired up and ready to do battle. If, as you said, this was the single most important election in our lifetime -- our one last shot at salvaging democracy -- it looks like you could have, as a minimum, hung around until the results were in.

If democracy is worth fighting for until the polls open, it's a no-brainer that it's even more so after they close. Fortunately, there are those who, unlike you, will not give up until every vote is either counted or the reason it wasn't counted are clearly known.

And, today, in his Tom Paine.com article "Kerry Won," Palast shows that you not only won in Ohio, but in New Mexico as well! Wow -- isn't that special...you should have stuck around for a couple of days, John.

Others, such as EarlG and SoCalDem over at Democratic Underground.com, are relentlessly fighting that last battle even though you have left the building, John. These guys point out the obvious -- "in EVERY STATE that has paper audit trails on their (sic) EVoting, the exit poll results match the actual results reported within the margin of error." They say also that "EVERY STATE that has EVoting, but no paper trails has an unexplained advantage for Bush of around +5 percent when exit polls are compared to actual results."
