Edwards Says Democrats Will Fight for Every Vote

Email this Story

Nov 3, 2:44 AM (ET)

BOSTON (Reuters) - Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards, signaling that the party still hoped to win the close-fought U.S. election, said early on Wednesday that it would "fight for every vote."

With the tally in the crucial state of Ohio very tight and potentially hanging on 150,000 uncounted provisional ballots, Edwards told supporters in Boston that he and Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts would not give in.

"John Kerry and I have made a promise to the American people that with this election every vote would count and every vote would be counted. Tonight we are keeping our word and we will fight for every vote," Edwards, a North Carolina senator, said.

Honestly, what does he plan on doing? Why would he drag this out? It is clear that Bush won. This makes me so nervous Kerry's team of lawyer hacks is working behind the scenes to concoct some false accusations/story. Why can he not do the right thing and concede?

Except, of course, for military votes in Pennsylvania...

How lawyerly of ex-Senator Edwards. I never thought I could say this, but Gore appears to have more class than Kerry -- and that's saying something.

Just enjoy their spasms. No need to be nervous. It's not close. Their cheating didn't and won't work in this election.

If Kerry can get about 195% of the provisional votes he may just have it (always keep your eye on cheaters). /sarc

Notice the word "fight." They are always fighting something or someone. Politics is analogous to war for them. No wonder we cannot find common ground.

I think it was totally wrong that last night, when they announced him, they stated "the next vice president of the United States, John Edwards".....wrong!

"I know we've been waiting four years for this"

This is part of the statement by Edwards .

Reflects the revenge the Demorats expected to get,-their hatred is unforgiving.

George Bush ought not turn the other cheek to these people......

Edwards ought to get a job like us working men. Once he does, the "D" behind his name will change to an "R."

Note to Edwards, you have lost Ohio and the popular vote. Soon Iowa, Nevada and New Mexico will all be called for the President.

Understanding that you're a lawyer and will not be able to make sense of what I'm about to say I will say it anyway in the hopes that it gets through your hairspray coated ears.

Have some class and respect the votes of the people. Concede or be looked at as a bitter loser for the rest of your days.

My question is how many uncounted military votes are still in play in Penn?

We need to NOT concede New York, Pennsylvania, etc yet.

Until ALL the votes have been counted. </sarcasm>
