Bush wins mathematically, as White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card stated:

    White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, in a pre-dawn appearance before Bush supporters at a planned victory rally, said Bush had compiled a "statistically insurmountable" lead in Ohio and had won a majority of the popular vote.

    "We are convinced that President Bush has won re-election," Card said, adding Bush would make a statement later on Wednesday.

If John F. Kerry does not concede today, he will go down in history as an even poorer-loser than Algore. At least Algore had a reasonable chance of stealing the election. Kerry doesn't even have fraud as an option anymore!

Kerry can't win - he should concede graciously soon

No, kerry should let the count run its course.

That would eliminate years of "he really would have won if the votes had been counted."

Gore blew it in 2000 by not insisting that all the ballots in Florida be recounted.

All the ballots were counted in FL in 2000. Not once, but twice. And Bush won both counts.

then the liberal media came in with their own unofficial recount, and Bush STILL won.

Bush won fairly in a close race in 2000. Bush won fairly in a less-close election in 2004.

GET OVER IT!

GW rigged the election, you just can't see without a glass stomach, if you
took your head out of your butt, you could find that several counties in
Florida
with a large majority of democrats were counted as republican votes by
electronic voting machines, did all those democrats really vote for a stupid
monkey? the voting machines say they did. But I doubt it.
They just couldn't rig the exit polls so you GOP's just say they were
inaccurate. Bull.
"War for Years!!" "W" isn't for women "W" is for WAR.
How many fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters must die in the sand for you
precious
SUV driving pigs. well, 100,000 Iraqis 1100 Americans, not enough yet huh.
