I don't think Kerry should drag a bid to contest the election out for months, given how the totals look now. Given the exit polls (the final ones, not the mid-afternoon returns), he wouldn't have a plausible case that rigged Diebold machines did it or anything like that.

But I don't think he should concede without at least the absentee count, either. It's the principle of the thing and a signal that we won't get rolled.
