69. "...our legal teams on the ground have found no evidence..." ? This sucks
"...our legal teams on the ground have found no evidence that would change the outcome of the election."

This statement tells me Kerry and/or his 'legal team' have their proverbial heads in the sand for reasons beyond me. There have been a number of analyses on DU showing that the outcome may indeed have been very different if every vote had been counted fairly, and if everyone had reasonable access to the polls, and if the electronic "glitches" always favoring Bush (even creating new electronic votes for Bush, more than were registered voters) had not skewed the results in Bush's favor.

I'm a Kerry supporter (a former Green) and am not trying to trash Kerry in saying this, but I cannot for the life of me understand why he keeps framing the issue this way, because it comes very close to poo-pooing the whole thing... as in this being only about "minor glitches" that wouldn't change outcomes, so who cares? Plus, it gives Rethugs a quick handy retort "Well, even KERRY thinks it's just minor glitches. sheeesh.

I keep waiting to be pleasantly surprised by Kerry, for him to come out with something more cogent that tells me he really 'gets' what happened on Nov. 2, but I'm still waiting.
