Was this lame or what?

From Reuters:
California Sen. Barbara Boxer and Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, formally lodged objections because of Ohio, although they said they recognized Bush had won and were not trying to overturn the results.

How lame was this? The Dems should have had a more coordinated effort to bring more attention to the election irregularities and throw some doubt on the legitimacy of the election. Bush's approval ratings are at the lowest point for any returning president. What are the Dems afraid of? Throwing doubt on the legitimacy of the election could in effect act like a scandal and hurt Bush's attempt to privatize Social Security.

How about the lamest of all:
Kerry did not endorse Boxer's bid to challenge the Ohio vote. Traveling overseas this week, Kerry released a statement on Wednesday noting that he had conceded to Bush but would continue to support "a close examination of voting irregularities in Ohio and elsewhere because it's critical to our democracy."
