15. Kerry should do it! Here's why
Kerry will be up for re-election in the Senate in 06. He is going to have a tough race I think if he runs again. Tough races aren't new to him, but we now know that the GOP has figured out how to win elections by fraud if necessary.
Kerry wants to run in 08 for Prez, but if he doesn't take a strong stand he will never get my vote, and he isn't likely to get the nomination anyhow just looking at history.

So, if he signs on to not certify the election, then he wins in a couple of ways: a) the possibility that he is actually the Prez elect; b) he gains in standing among the Dem base necessary for nomination in 08.

If he is only thinking in terms of his Senate campaign in 06 I don't think he can win anyhow.


JMHO
