Think of this as a game of chess
Kerry as the King in a chess game. Bush is also the King. Bush's queen would be Karl Rove. The Pawns would be freepers. The media is the Bishops. Swift Boats are the Rooks. Knights would be Arnold and McCain.

The pawns were lured into positioning themselves for a kill. Slowly we whipped out each one by Kerry conceding. The pawns themselves couldn't move in on mobilizing to stop the recount results like in 2000.

Knowing that the pawns wouldn't be the key to victory the queen sent out the rooks to put Kerry in check. Kerry countered with his own set of Rooks which are his band of brothers. Slowly the truth from his rooks defeated the other side.

The queen then sent out the Bishops in strategic position's. However, the media was blocked by Kerry's pawns which is DU'ers and every blogger out there.

With the Bishops down now the queen sent out the Knights in hopes of putting Kerry in check again. Kerry countered his own check with with his own list of celebrities that are the Knights.

With all his pieces lost the queen then brought herself into play by moving forward with rigged election. Karl Rove aka queen captured Kerry's queen which is the White house.

Kerry now has the ability to lure the King out into the open and capture the queen at the same time. We my friends are Kerry's pawns moving into position for the checkmate.

2. Your analogy is well constructed and concise. I hope you're correct.
However, there is evidence on both sides.

For: Kerry is a prosecutor. He want's to have all his ducks in a row before he does anything. He has lawyers at his disposal who evidently haven't been released yet. The entire Democratic establishment is dead quiet, and nobody's heard from Michael Moore on this issue. The Dem members of the judiciary comittee have sent a letter to the GAO to investigate this issue.

Against: Kerry told people to "stop crying in their teacups" for stolen elections. This could mean that he doesn't think elections would be stolen, or it could mean "stop crying and do something about it". Perhaps he doesn't even want to be President anymore considering the media and the Republican spin machine will tear him down. The Democratic leadership has let us down before. The silence of the Democrats could indicate confusion and embrassment as much as anything else.

As much as I'd like to believe that Kerry is doing something about this in private. I'll believe it when I see it. Likewise, I won't get mad at him just yet, and I'll retract the bad-mouthing I did immediately after his concession. I'm in wait-and-see mode.
