Kerry has SWAT TEAMS and 10,000 lawyers ready to FIGHT
He won't go gentle into that good night like Gore did. He will go kicking and screaming if Bush tries to fuck with democracy and steal the election again.

Six so-called "SWAT teams" of lawyers and political operatives will be situated around the country with fueled-up jets awaiting Kerry's orders to speed to a battleground state. The teams have been told to be ready to fly on the evening of the election to begin mounting legal and political fights. Every battleground state will have a SWAT team within an hour of its borders.

The Kerry campaign has recount office space in every battleground state, with plans so detailed they include the number of staplers and coffee machines needed to mount legal challenges.

"Right now, we have 10,000 lawyers out in the battleground states on Election Day, and that number is growing by the day," said Michael Whouley, a Kerry confidant who is running election operations at the Democratic National Committee (news - web sites).

11. Just like he did in '00 when he said he trusted the people and not
the machines? The chimp didn't let the people decide in '00, if he had, he would have ever been able to disgrace the office of the Presidency.

10. I heard on the radio today that one of those teams is ready to go, in...
....shhhh.... Virginia!... Get out the vote in Virginia, and don't talk too loudly about how close it is there!! If they stay home complacently, and Democrats come out in full force, it's very possible.

That would be so sweeeeeet!
