Thune came up at the President's news conference. I think he is about to get an appointment somewhere in this adiministration for showing alot of class. The American people do not want leaders with recounts- they want leaders with class.

[Interesting Times]

Really?

Perhaps "the American people" you so speak for so presumptuously would like to see vote fraud identified, the election results corrected, and the perps sent to prison.

Bush owes him a job in his administration. He left the house to run for the senate at Bush's urging...

I think you are correct- in your comment about class vs recount- the fraud should still be investigated- and I am not sure how in a three way race Johnson came up with over 160000 votes when most of the other Democrats had approx 130-150000 votes and this was a three way split - very strange numbers - I keep trying to explain it but it doesn't work out right-but maybe he could be placed somewhere important and save face and come back to clean Daschle's clock later

I think Bush should appoint him to a high-level position, and task him with investigating all allegations of voter fraud!

Count me as one who wants a recount. There was no problem with having a recount in Florida either. In fact, it was the proper thing to do. The problems came into play when the 'Rats tried to restrict the recount to their strong areas, tried to invalidate absentee ballots (from the military), swallowed chads and otherwise tried to manufacture Gore votes while invalidating Bush votes.

Allowing the Slave Party to continue to get away with fraud is not "class." A "leader" would get this country to acknowledge and correct its problem, just as any decent parent corrects their children. Not to do so leaves us a laughing stock around the world, not to mention imperils the Republican majority in the Senate to a Chaffee bailout.

No. Face the problem squarely and fix it.

I personally want a leader that does the right thing even if it's not politically convenient. For instance, fighting for the proper tallying of ALL votes of one's constituents or potential constituents, especially involving areas already identified for voting fraud. Bowing out "gracefully" to wait for the next government hand out does not impress me.

...The American people do not want leaders with recounts- they want leaders with class.....

Yes but....

Remember the words of the great American who defeated the Soviets...."Trust but verify!"

. The American people do not want leaders with recounts- they want leaders with class.

...and, there are ways to seek a recount with class.

The classless method was the one the Dems used in Florida in 2000. I think that the American people will not hold it against Thune if he presents a recount request with some dignity, stressing ligitimate illegalities. (Of course, by "American people", I am discounting the hard left, and Dem lackies, who are going to cry "foul", in a classless way...)

[ApesForEvolution]

The American people want leaders, with class, that win fair and square and simply requesting a state wide recount, as opposed to only counties which might favor you, does not imply 'no class'.

Speak for yourself please...

Speak for yourself, not the American people. I want the person that received the most legitimate votes to be elected!

[Post Toasties]

In this case, go with the recount and the class.

Let's let the demholes kepp the seat if they let us beat up Daschle.
