Actually you have your facts a little backwards here. It was the Kerry team who released the early polls while the elections were still going on. It was Kerry's camp claiming that Kerry was winning by a landslide!

[/b][/quote]ummmm this is directed at DR. The Bush team never said "stop moaning and accept defeat" you are using quotes and putting words in their mouth. Bush had 120,000 vote lead with approximately 70,000 votes left to be counted..do the math.
Also Kerry said he lost, it was Edwards who wanted to keep going to be in the spotlight more.
