And, yes, dark horse candidates are critical, as Congressman Kucinich demonstrates.  Senator Obama won't be allowed to call for a recount for fear of being nuked by the press.  He's already being wounded by them in this whole race-baiting thing.  Kucinich knows this, and at least seemed to make it very clear when I spoke with him.

Still, I understand Obama's hesitation, but it deserved more attention than his staff gave it (which was none by the sound of it).  In the big picture, this is a little bigger than a candidate, after all.

Now, when have you ever known a campaign to put the big picture ahead of the individual candidate? (Well, except for the Kucinich campaign, of course.) ^_^

Clearly the Kucinich campaign, but I don't think the Obama campaign gave it much thought.  Allegedly a few of the universities were not in session, and so they may have assumed their voters simply weren't there on election day.
