WTF? Why does AP still claim Kerry's concession gave election to *? |

Election Rally Planned Jesse Jackson and others will protest presidential vote today in Columbus.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A group will rally in Columbus today in favor of national election reform and to call attention to Thursday's joint session of Congress where it's expected to certify the election results.
Reverend Jesse Jackson and some state lawmakers are expected at the rally. Jackson and U.S. Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones spoke in Cleveland Sunday. Tubbs Jones and Jackson say they're trying to call attention to voting irregularities in Ohio.
Tubbs Jones says the recount wasn't handled properly. Ohio and its 20 electoral votes tipped the race to President Bush when Senator John Kerry conceded the morning after the November second vote.
Counties finished the recount Tuesday. Unofficial recount totals indicate Bush won the state by more than 118-thousand votes over Kerry.

2. Kerry did "concede". And it has no legal ramification. |
|
Forget what they say. Watch what they do.

6. please explain what you mean |

What's the difference between what they say and what they do? In other words, their "doing" is, in many ways, also their "saying", don't you think? But so many people, once Kerry conceded, just assume that absolutely nothing can now be done. This, even though his concession was qualified as to what the details might be in Ohio, even at the time. However, he did "congratulate" the Bushs. That's probably the biggest thing. People remember him doing that. That pretty much put everybody off the trail. After all, wouldn't his campaign have been aware of any over-riding election fraud or questionable outcome? But, he qualified his remarks to a very limited extent, by saying "however, we want to make sure that every vote in Ohio gets counted." But it was so limited, so weak, that I don't think it "took" very well with most people or with the media. People are su used to incumbents getting re-elected, and so brainwashed to accept these "landslide" elections...

7. I think I agree with everything you are saying. |
|
And based on all that we know, it ain't over.
Gore didn't "concede" right away, but by this time 4 years ago, the jig was up.
Hardly the case now.
I'm not saying Kerry is fighting this like a mad dog, I just don't know that he isn't. And I doubt he'd post his thoughts on DU.
