Why do Republicans feel the need to defend the Bush victory?

[bluestateguy]

For months we have heard from Republicans on and on that the Democrats election challenge was frivilous and groudless. Yet they are up there today one after another defending the validity of the Bush victory in Ohio. Why is this? If Bush legitimately won Ohio they should not feel the need to contest the assertions of the challengers.

3. Because they, too, KNOW it's a fraud.

By the afternoon of Election Day 04, they had given up on their boy. You could see it in their eyes: bu$h was going down. They were just as suprised as we were by 9:00 that night.

Now, they've GOT to parrot that election-was-legit shit in hopes that it will keep somebody from looking into the voting.
