Kerry is determined not to lose Florida's 27 electoral votes in a swamp of recounts and recriminations this fall, vowing to mount an early legal challenge in any district that might repeat the problems that bedeviled Democratic supporters in 2000.

I've noticed, and just like every other A-hole like him I've ever known, I sit quietly and smile as they speed toward their demise at Mach.

Can't wait to see the bug-splat from this turd!

This man is completely despicable. How do we know he's a liar? his mouth is moving....He proclaims Bush a divider...Everything he says and does is aimed to drive a wedge between the left and right...typical liberal maneuver..

How he's going make his move for the middle voters is going to be quit interesting.

I almost giggle with satisfaction when I think of how only a few months from now I get to watch some lefty anchor's face pale when he has to call Florida for Bush.

"We're going to pre-check it, we're going to have the legal team in place. ... We're going to take injunctions where necessary ahead of time. We'll pre-challenge if necessary," the four-term Massachusetts senator said.

I can just hear it: "Oh, Mr. Kerry, I had a dream last night that I will cast the wrong ballot. I've been disenfranchised!"

"Bush won Florida's 25 electoral votes by a 537-vote margin."

Proud to say - one of them was mine.

this man just might be crazy?

Nah, just a short attention span and hyperactivity.

I think he's looking for his legal challenge. He's talking about places where people didn't get to vote last time. Yet the investigation sold nobody was disenfranchised.

Kerry couldn't wait to start emulating what everyone hated most about Al Gore.

Why wait? Kerry should file his case now. Get it over with.

You've got his number because he'll do that if he can find a way:

You may be right. I like your imagery. This could be fun to watch. Many years ago our Governor in Louisiana, Earl Long, went totally psychotic in public. It was a hoot to watch. He traveled across country psychotic as a bedbug with a stripper, Blaze Starr. One of my fonder memories. He was committed to the state hospital while governor, called a meeting of the hospital board and fired the superintendant of the hospital and liberated himself. Maybe Kerry will go totally off,,wouldn't that be a pleasure to watch!!

"Considering Bush will beat him in every other state"

Ahhhh, hummm, hmmmm. Sorry, we don't have a chance here in Pennsylvania with Gv. Rendell. He saw to it last election for Philadelphia to have a 107% voter turn out. Now that he is governor, it might be as high as 115%. Already rigged. He can thank the Teamsters and the NAACP for that.

Hell, why not let the dems. start voting now/ Let the East Coast vote in April, bitch, whine, challenge, sue, then move on to the Central Time Zone in May, etc. until the whole country has had a chance to moan and groan. Of course, Republicans would have one day to get their vote out. It's the fair and compassionate thing to do. ;^)

"I don't think we ought to have any vote cast in America that cannot be traced and properly recounted," he said

What he really means is: "I don't think we ought to have any vote cast in America that my thugs cannot manipulate, tamper with, or rig".

Don't you think that is over the top. That and the mysterious foreign leader support just both seem nutso to me. I think his judgement is very poor. But this is the man who gave that outrageous testimony in front of congress about his fellow soldiers.

Maybe the state won't be declared a kerry victory by the Ratpress before their polls are closed. And maybe the Rats won't prevent voters from getting to the polls. And maybe the Rats controlling Florida precints will allow the soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq to have their votes counted this time. And maybe the Rats won't try to count votes for anybody-but-kerry as votes for kerry. And maybe the Ratcourt in Florida won't overide the will of the voters. I doubt it.
