Alan Keyes was only on the ballot in three states and Judge Carter seriously contemplated granting him standing but since he was only on the ballot in so few states, had no chance of winning.
McCain-Palin got nearly 60 million votes.
A crusading, fearless, conservative prosecuting attorney is the way to go.
Nebraska and Idaho State are playing in the BCS Championship Football game. Nebraska is winning with a score of 47-3 in the 4th quarter. Nebraska’s tight end catches the ball about 2 yards out of bounds, runs back onto the field and runs it all the way for a touchdown. The referees put their hands up, indicating a TD.
The Idaho State coach asks for the referees to check the instant replay.
The referees say, “You loser, there’s no way you can win this game so you can’t ask for a review.”
Is that cool with you? Why or why not?
For the record, the candidates who would have had standing would be:
- John McCain (on the ballots of 50 states)
- Ralph Nader (on the ballots of 45 states)
- Bob Barr (on the ballots of 44 states)
- Chuck Baldwin (on the ballots of 37 states)
- Cynthia McKinney (on the ballots of 32 states)
Each of these candidates were on enough ballots to theoretically capture a majority of the electoral vote, and hence qualify them for legal standing. Obviously, none of them thought there was any legitimate legal dispute over Obama’s eligibility.
Of course, I’m sure this is because all five, despite their *considerable* political differences, are all in on the conspiracy to cover up Obama’s eligibility. Especially the two with law degrees.
