Wrong. Kerry knew he was cheated, but it took awhile to find hard evidence of just how much he'd been cheated. In other words, if it was just 35,000 in Ohio, as Christopher Hitchens estimated, then it was bad but not decisive. However, if it was more than 58,000 (which we now know it was) then Bush stole the entire election. And he did.
Once Kerry found out that he'd really won the election (or been cheated out of the White House) he was furious, especially when the GOP congress refused to investigate and hold the fraudsters responsible.
Kerry knew he would look like a bad sport if he complained, but he definitely supported the efforts of others to get to the truth. He now 100% supports the investigations going on in Ohio which have proven all kinds of gross fraud by the Ohio GOP, as well as gross fraud in Nevada, Florida, Iowa, New Mexico, Virginia, Colorado, and more. Unlike Gore, Kerry is not going to let this rest, but he can't be the one who spearheads the reform.
PS: Gore also knows he was cheated in 2000. he told a friend of mine that. |
