Do you believe that Miami-Dade county has virtually no increase in voters?
Less than a 14% increase. And virtually no change in the percentages from 2000. Guess voters aren't as angry as everybody thought, huh? At least not in one of the counties that was at the heart of the controversy in 2000.

Of course, I'll bet you also didn't know that Ohio had less than a 20% increase in turnout. That's why people stood in lines for hours and hours this year. Because of a less than 20% increase. All those GOTVers coming from all over the country certainly wasted their time, right? Especially since the Republicans were apparently more successful with GOTV efforts. I wonder what percent of that 20 percent were actually Dems.

And if you believe either of these tales, I have a bridge to sell you...

1. Nope, but it doesn't matter.

Our candidate conceded. Hell, he made Al Gore look like a World Championship Figher.

It's all irrelevant at this point.

3. The decision is not John Kerry's to make.
Its OUR votes that were stolen. And there's nothing binding about a concession.

2. And it also appears that half of Miami-Dade voted Republican.

According to the state vote site I looked at this morning.
