So what happens if a recount proves that Kerry won?
who enforces the results? Congress? The Media? I wish i had a warm fuzzy feeling about this, but i don't.

1. With all of the right-wing gloating
going on, an election reversal would be extra SWEET!

2. All hell will break loose
But let it. I'm more afraid of what will happen in the next 4 years with the current administration.

3. Wait - wait - don't tell me...
He takes office??

Okay, I'm being facetious. I'm afraid it's gonna get ugly, and WE'RE going to have to be the ones to enforce the results. But I'm up for it! I'm ready to make history!! So who's with me??...

8. I like happy surprises I could go for one, you know for the
holiday cheer and stuff. Maybe I'll talk to Santa about that. "Dear Santa, I want Kerry to be president and someone to kick bushie boy's butt back to Texas.... oh and world peace"

7. With all the controversies swirling around this immoral administration...
Edited on Mon Nov-22-04 09:42 PM by ClassWarrior
...we've surely moved past the theoretical stage, haven't we?

(Sorry, I used a couple of words with more than six letters...)

9. With no paper trail regarding electronic machines, I do not
see how Kerry would win. It is those machines where the mischief was performed. Even those who voted Kerry and the machine showed Bush, only their word counts. I hope Democrats can persuade the Election gurus to ban those without a paper trail. We know the election was stolen but our word is not good enough. But recounts will prove one thing--we can't trust those machines.

10. At this point, why would Kerry want to be President?
I think this country needs to learn some lessons the hard way.

17. You are right.
John Kerry is a patriot and a fighter. I think he is fighting the smart fight. Bush is his own worst enemy, but he is sure messing up his cage.

If Kerry were to beat out Bush it would make the Clinton Presidency look peaceful.

14. No easy answers here.
I sure don't want to be one of the millions of casualties of this administration to prove a point. Bush and those he will be placing in power with him can only be removed if there is a reversal of this election...if we lose here and go on with support for impeachment, that won't remove ALL of the scum who are in a position to do us further harm. Rock and a hard place?!
IF those machines were confiscated, there are professionals who can determine tampering...http://www.chuckherrin.com/HackthevoteFAQ.htm
This guy is a computer security pro...there are plenty of others who must agree that we need to find out what happened and restore our faith in fair elections. Because right now, I got nuttin'!
I say we all order up U-Hauls and send them to the WH.

13. The same thing that happened before.
Bush will go running to the Supreme Court who will come up with some decision that keeps him as Fuerher. Watch and see. It doesn't mean this shouldn't be pursued though. We need all the proof we can get to change things and impeach Bush.

15. Then we're back to Jon Stewart's question --
What if he doesn't leave?

16. This may be a dumb question, but...
it should show the Electoral College whom we really voted for -- might they not be willing to vote our way? The Historical turn-around ball would be in their court -- they could fix this.

or are they all Repukes, too?
