Kerry clutches to hopes of recount victory (Here Come the Chads)

"We believe democracy itself is at risk,"

Good, it's about time, since this is a Republic first and foremost. You will not find the word democracy in the constitution.

"…We are fearful that 'major' media is intimidated. We are fearful we are abandoned by our own Democratic Party."

Poor babies.

[Semper Paratus]

Crush their hopes and dreams a second time in a month.

In Florida 4 years ago they had about 1300 votes to reverse and could only finagle under 800. Ohio's margin is 100 times that.

I wonder how many Ohio democrats will be turned off by this. I would assume, not too many.

Electile dysfunction isn't pretty.

Why is this dated 11/30/04?

Kerry spokesman David Wade spoke about recount efforts led by a team of 17,000 lawyers that could trigger the removal of President George W. Bush from office.

Hence, the real reason Kerry had +/-$17 million left in the coffers. It was always the plan to challenge the election in close states.

[CThomasFan]

Any relationship between these maniacs and reality is purely coincidental.

[Reactionary]

"It was always the plan to challenge the election in close states."

I certainly wouldn't doubt that. They're a bunch of lunatics.

I guess I posted too fast.

Here is the dates given for this publication:

Today's Democraps would call a Republican who won 80% of the popular vote and all 50 states illegitimate. Ignore these sore losers.

[JoeGar]

... recount efforts led by a team of 17,000 lawyers ...

Now there's a credible source! Who would believe 17,000 lawyers?

[KidGlock]

Some of the people in this artice sound as bad as the DUmmy FUnnies threads posted here on FR.

[Go Gordon]

Bush now leads Kerry by about 136,000 votes in Ohio. A battle is looming over nearly 155,000 provisional ballots... Of 11 counties that had completed checking provisional ballots, 81 percent have been ruled valid.

If the 81% figure holds throughout all counties, it would be impossible for Kerry to win. 81% of 155,000 is around 125,550 - less than the margin of victory (plus there was another article posted this week that the votes were breaking for Bush at about a 54% rate)

[beyond the sea]

Kathryn Levy was a volunteer coordinator in the Kerry headquarters in Broward County, Florida and said yesterday she received "innumerable complaints."

What's that mean? None? No number of complaints.

;-)

There is something truly pathetic about an unlikable man who doesn't have any accomplishments who can't withdraw gracefully.

[Jackknife]

"Why is this dated 11/30/04?"

My first thoughts exactly. Today is the 26th.

[pennyfarmer]

In another signal the Kerry/Edwards team is increasing its involvement in the recount effort, a note was posted on the campaign website yesterday that called on supporters to contribute to the Kerry-Edwards 2004 General Election Legal and Accounting Compliance Fund.

$15 mil isn't enough. There are palms to be greased lies to disseminate through the MSM, these things cost money.

[finnman69]

might as well have been written by the moonbats at DU.

small problem however:

Note: 64 of 88 counties have reported.

Current % of provisionals being counted: 79%

Current "additional" vote count:
Bush +29,285
Kerry +23,947
Please note, most of the largest counties have still not reported.
