Mr. kerry & Mr. Edwards seem to have vanished from the planet.
seems like they have made no appearances outside their respected houses, cuz the papparazzi surely must be stalking them, perhaps to get some misery shots, or maybe kerry skiing or something (heard that snide comment about skiing, as in kerry folded so he could ski soo, on a talk radio blab while I was channel surfing).

they have to come out of hiding some time. I believe Mr. edwards is with his wife and their medical issue, but what about Mr. Kerry?

2. Call him Senator Kerry, please
President-Elect Kerry would be even better, since bush is a nonverified president, just like his nonverified vote tally.

6. President Elect is correct!


I am sure they are not resting.

If they were, and it helped them prepare for the battle, that would be great!

Why don't we talk about the real enemy, GWB.

19. You beat me to the punch!
I just read this read and was fixin' to reply just as you did. :toast:

Senator Kerry or President-Elect Kerry, thank you very much.

We've still got Senator Kerry's back and each other's. Let's get out there and help make this happen, people. We're beyond mere Grassroots, now, we've grown into the Great Plains of Grassroots! ;) We WILL get this done!!

3. A minor correction, please. No offense intended.
That would be Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards.

Thanks. Just a bit anal-retentive over here.

8. Mysterious isn't it?
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 11:44 AM by gordianot
They have all disappeared not just John Kerry. Democrat free TV. Voter fraud against African Americans. Where is Jeesie Jackson, Al Sharpton, the NAACP?

I am now media free so I do not know!

9. It's got to be the most embarrassing time in their lives.....
Losing to a complete and total moron and phuck-up would be pretty damn hard to take. That brainless cocky little bastard.....how can ANYONE prefer that bastard over an articulate,intelligent, caring,fair minded man like Kerry? God damn all those ignorant bastards who voted for this evil tribe....I hope they suffer for what they've done.

10. I think if you had been running for two years
you would like to sit down.

Give Kerry a break, sheesh. We need a lot more than one exhausted man at this hour.

12. I agree
When Howard Dean conceded the primaries, he took two weeks off to recover then went back to work.

15. The tenure includes some healing. Bush does not have what it takes.
Either work on healing your supporters or FIGHT. John Kerry asked for this and he got what he wanted. He asked to command the Swift Boat and despite what the Bush machine Rove liars said, John Kerry served honorably. He never abandoned his crew as a young man. Well now he has a larger crew that he has also volunteered for duty. Since he is not talking to us I will assume he is still fighting and does not want our help. Among his last words was the vote counting will continue. To the best I can determine they are still counting votes. People are mad on both sides.

There are a lot of hot heads ready to pick a fight. I consider myself a radical, but I have spoken to people on both sides of this election that make me look mild. Families are being split, there is road rage on the highway between people with political stickers (I witnessed this on I-44). There is huge anger. No one wants to talk or even mention it. I will be dammed I will not become a conservative so called Christian and adopt their so called values. In my country everyone is welcome to their beliefs but I draw the line when I have to in Bush's words "share values".

I did and do still believe in John Kerry. There is a void right now and someone better fill it soon before it is too late.

14. From what I have heard
Edwards is back in North Carolina, giving support to his wife as she begins treatment--that is probably more important to his family than a few appearances on the Sunday talk shows?

Kerry is planning a trip to Europe to relax--and then an extensive ski vacation at the Heinz estate in Sun Valley. There is nothing really wrong with this--he probably needs a break.

However, I don't believe the rumors that these men are "fighting" the election results behind the scenes. There is just no evidence for it--indeed the evidence seems to be against it. However, I suppose that hope springs eternal.

28. One of my relatives is
a very prominent attorney (I have mentioned him several times before)--he works for an extremely prestigious NY law firm.

This relative was one of the many lawyers standing by to help the Kerry campaign. He took a leave from work and was standing at the ready to go wherever the campaign needed him after the election. He was called by the campaign at around 3pm EST Nov 3 and told that his services would not be needed. The person who called him was a very high-placed person with the campaign--and the person who had been responsible for retaining him in the first place. He inquired what Kerry had planned--and that is what he was told. Kerry is intending to relax for a bit. That is what he was told so it is obviously the official story. The person that told him this is very close to the top--and should know what he is talking about.

If Kerry is planning a dispute--why did the campaign tell the lawyers to stand down? It would be possible to work behind the scenes to contest the election--but not without your legal team.

my lengthy response above. My information comes from one of the lawyers who had been standing by at the ready--and eager to contest the election results.

27. We all just need to sit tight.
However, I don't believe the rumors that these men are "fighting" the election results behind the scenes. There is just no evidence for it--indeed the evidence seems to be against it...


Um, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence maybe?

30. I believe what I was told--
please see my detailed explanation above. It broke my heart to hear it--as it also broke the heart of the man who told it to me. But I do believe it is true.

If Kerry was disputing the election--he would NOT send the lawyers home. He only has until Dec 13 (when the electoral college meets). It doesn't make sense to let the lawyers go--when he would need them to be fighting full-time to have any hope of contesting the election.

What are the odds that there could be some alternative plan that involves disputing the election without legal action? I guess that it is possible....We will wait and see.
