John Kerry has the opportunity to be both the statesman and uniter he has claimed to be. Rather than a replay of Florida 2000 in Ohio, he could concede.
I had hoped for a large Bush win to try and end the vehement bickering. It didn’t happen. Kerry can make a move right now that would go a long way toward doing that. He would also be setting himself up for another run in four years.
I don’t think he has the class. And becoming President is the only thing he’s ever really wanted in life.
I can’t believe you thought that would even be in the realm of possibility with him.
Bush did win big. 4 mil popular vote difference and 286 electoral when this is all over. That “mandate” claim can be flushed now.
Kerry cannot win Ohio now, since most of the remaining votes to be counted are overseas military votes (usually around 75% for Pres Bush), then the provisionals. He can’t come up with that many votes unless there is something shady. And Fla came up with a 300K difference. There can’t be any bickering from any legitimate politico now about stolen elections.

Slice, what is up with your state. You need to go back there and lay the smackith down.

He won there, or will have by the time it is all counted. The counties in question are the black helicopter folks in western Iowa.

I agree with your Rudy bid, but I think he would have a better chance at winning if he has McCain with him.
