1. Concessions are not legally binding.

2. My guess is ONLY if it is EGGREGIOUS!!!
We're talking 3 million or so votes, or OBVIOUS Fraud. He can take back his concession until Dec 12.

I believe the BBV crew can do it, but even if they do, would Kerry retract?

If nothing else the GAO can prevent more black boxes in 2006, and prevent a super-majority in the congress.

3. No, it isn't
and even if it was Kerry wouldn't do it.

And there's no way to prove massive enough fraud to make a difference anyway. That's one reason the GOPukes were so insistant that paper trails weren't necessary.

We lost, we're screwed and there's nothing we can do about it.

Reminds me of Rome just before Marius and Sulla.

5. frankly, at this point
it is not up to him. If the EVs come in on his side, the job is his whether he wants it or not (at which point he would have to resign).

6. Concession Speeches are NOT Legally Binding
Are Concession Speeches Legally Binding?
Kerry holdouts want to know.
Posted Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2004, at 10:55 AM PT

This morning "Explainer" readers have been clamoring to know: Are concession speeches legally binding? When Kerry concedes, will vote counting in Ohio stop? As Emily Yoffe explained in this 2000 Explainer, concession speeches are courtesies—they carry no legal weight. And they don't halt vote counts, either. Ohio will continue to count its provisional ballots, even after Kerry's concession speech. http://slate.msn.com/id/2109127/
