Kerry clutches to hopes of recount victory (Dream on!)

Kerry clutches to hopes of recount victory White House calls on nation to 'come together'

Some supporters of Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and running mate John Edwards cling to the hope that an Ohio recount can swing the election

by Adam Stone A White House spokeswoman told North County News last Friday that citizens should embrace the Election Day results and dismiss recount efforts in Ohio that could hand Democratic Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts the presidency.

"The election has ended, and now is the time for the country to come together to address the challenges our nation faces," the spokeswoman, Suzy DeFrancis, remarked.

Bush won Ohio by a vote of 2,796,147 to John Kerry's 2,659,664, according to the official tally.

In a series of e-mail interviews with North County News two weeks ago, 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.

Since then, under mounting pressure from alternative media outlets as well as progressive voices outside the Democratic Party, Kerry issued a statement to his supporters that left open the possibility that he could obtain--through a recount--the requisite electoral votes to seize the White House.

"Regardless of the outcome of this election, once all the votes are counted--and they will be counted--we will continue to challenge this administration," Kerry said through a web-exclusive statement and video Friday, which, curiously, was not distributed to the press.

The usage of the word 'regardless' in the carefully parsed statement was the first indication Kerry has offered that, in his mind, the official election results might be inaccurate enough to tilt the election in his favor.

Wade was e-mailed the remarks from the White House spokeswoman.

"Any president of the United States should make it a priority to count every vote in our country because every citizen's full faith in the democratic process is critical," Wade responded yesterday (Tuesday). "That's why John Kerry and John Edwards built a voter protection team of lawyers around the country, lawyers who are today monitoring recounts and the counting of provisional ballots including Ohio and New Mexico. Every vote will be counted, and we Democrats aren't afraid to fight to protect voters' rights."

A Kerry victory in Ohio would give the senator enough electoral votes to seize the White House.

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.

"The Federal Election Commission has just granted our request to raise funds now to cover recount expenses," the website states. "Your contribution to Kerry-Edwards 2004 GELAC will provide the resources to make sure we are prepared to win the post election day battles."

They can't recount. The final MOV was greater than 0.25% which is the legal standard in Ohio for a recount. This is just drivel and nonsense.

Kerry saw how much money Nader and his Watermelons were able to juice out of their foaming followers and decided to get in on the action.

0.25% is the threshold for automatic recount in Ohio. A recount may be demanded and paid for by any candidate - even one that got just a single write-in vote - no matter what the margin.

And while Hanoi Kerry STILL threatens America
the so called right wing media sits by silently.

Of course they get paid.

I don't, do you?

Oh well guess the right wing media is to busy with the "holidays" and can't be bothered.

The November 2 election results were an arctic blast to the hot air of the Kerry personality cult. Apparently they were a little too frigid and brought about frostbite to the brain.
EARTH TO KERRY! BUSH WON!

The money raised only pays the fee - the recount will still cost the taxpayers some $1.5 million dollars or more.

It won't bite the dust. If the electoral college meets and votes accordingly to the present state of the election before the final count in Ohio many will believe that they voted illegally and as such GWB is again an unelected President and that he stole the election. They will use it to forever cast doubt on the way we elect our president and use the argument to do away with the electoral college. When that happens, and it is when, there will never be another conservative elected.
