But that annoying little thing called "democracy" didn't appeal much to the Bush re-election team. "Stop moaning," the said, "and accept defeat." Accept defeat! With votes still to be counted! DECISIVE votes!

Actually you have your facts a little backwards here. It was the Kerry team who released the early polls while the elections were still going on. It was Kerry's camp claiming that Kerry was winning by a landslide!
