1. What do you expect him to do?
Sure, he could pull a Howard Dean and start screaming into a microphone, but that would prove as effective as the Dean meltdown.

The fact of the matter is that Bush's margin of victory is so large in Ohio, and in terms of recount scenarious, the margin is ABSOLUTELY HUGE, that there is simply no way that Kerry can reverse the outcome. Most sane people understand this. But the tin foil contingent at DU continues to bash Kerry for his "inaction."

Election fraud is impossible to prove, absent a confession from one of the perpetrators. Pointing to discrepancies between exit poll results and reported returns doesn't even come close to meeting the legal burden of proof. Again, most sane people understand this. But not the tin foil contingent at DU.

And hey, even if you had an airtight case, how the hell are you going to convince a judge to, in effect, throw out the results of the presidential election, especially with inauguration only a few weeks away?
