We will probably never know for sure who actually won
the Presidency in 2004. I find it hard to believe that a majority of voters chose Caligula over Kerry, but, again, with no one to officially investigate, only the historians in years to come (in more free times) will make that determination.

However, when Kerry said that he would not contest the certification of the Ohio electors (or any other state's) because it "wouldn't change the outcome of the election", he showed me that he is also a part of the problem. "Free and fair" elections do not mean only those that Democrats win, it means that every vote is counted and counted in a public, transparent, way. The fact that Kerry doesn't seem to "get" this is proof to me that he was never the right choice.
