So what's all this about definitive election results? Several swing states won't have their absentee ballots counted for a few days or even a week.

I think kerry wanted to avoid dividing the nation like gore did last time. he realized that he would need to get the votes for basically ALL the provisional ballots from ohio -- not bloody likely. He NEEDS ohio to win. all the states that were super close (like a Nader and Libertarian candidate's votes apart :P ), added up together, i don't think he could pull out the electoral votes. He decided to do the big thing and concede the election to bush rather than dragging it out on and on and on. while i CERTAINLY am not happy about bush being in office... i think kerry did the right thing and i respect him more for it.
