1. Bush concedes that the election was conducted under fraudulent conditions and graciously steps down. You mean like JFK did after Illinois was stolen in 1960? 2. A large cadre of Republican lawyers lock up the whole process in court, appealing and appealing to higher and higher courts...till they get to the US Supreme Court...refer to 2000 for the final result. You might not live long enough to see that work its way through the court system. Otherwise, see 2000.

None of the above. Not to lend any credence to the ridiculous notion that Kerry actually won Ohio, but if the state of Ohio certified the election of the Republican slate of Electors, then their votes in the Electoral College count, regardless of what subsequent recounts and challenges may find. Since the Electoral College already elected Bush, recounts and challenges at this point are moot as far as Bush's reelection goes. The only realistic (however sad) goal of the Dems at this point is to embarrass Bush and the GOP, and to try to make "Bush stole the election" the Democrat war cry for 2008 just like it was last year. It's a loser strategy, but that's what we've come to expect from them. ;-)
