That poster and others do this continually and they are extremely immature. Your arguments were excellent. They are sure that 2004 was stolen and that by doing <something> John Kerry could have gotten the election overturned, declared invalid or re-done. The reality is that as you list many many things the Republicans did to cheat - but you can't claim votes never cast.
As you said Kerry was a victim. He worked incredibly hard to win people's votes and quite possibly succeeded in convincing enough people. As the candidate, Kerry was not in charge of every state's election process. The Democratic party in each state should have been competent and on top of anything the state was doing with regards to the election, calling the Kerry campaign if they needed assistance. The Ohio Democratic party, by most accounts, was a mess. Reportedly, Blackwell sent reports with number of voting machines by location to each of the bi-partisan election committees. Urban areas had fewer machines in some cases than they had in the primaries - but no one caught this. That the election was run by bi-partisan county commissions made it harder to blame the Republicans.
Kerry informally became the candidate in March, 2004. The local and state parties had deteriorated throughout the 90s and this century. Kerry's job was to be the Presidential nominee and to articulate reasons that people should replace Bush with him. It was not his job to simultaneously re-organize and strengthen the local parties. The issue with machine fraud is even clearer - it could NOT be fixed starting in March, 2004. So, if Kerry should have been working on this in 2002 and 2003, then so should Gov Dean, Edwards, Clark etc. None of them were, so had they won the nomination they would have been in the same place.
Kerry actually had the misfortune of running against a President who used government resources for political gain, used the terror codes, and approved a vicious slime campaign. In addition, the media drastically reduced coverage (hurting the challenger) and was extremely biased. Add to that the fact that the local parties were in a shambles and it's a wonder he almost won. (On his side there was a pretty well motivated party and more money than Democrats usually have.)
Ironically, a likely beneficiary of Dean and Kerry's attempts to re-vitalize the local parties will be the couple who allowed the decline while they were in power for 8 years and in the 4 years afterward. Note that these people blame Kerry who has worked hard since his lost, but give Gore a pass for disappearing for 18 months.
