2. Maybe Bev can make use of them if K/E decide not to. (There is still
time for Kerry to change his mind and do something about the election fraud.)

12. Legal assistance is needed now.

We are citizens and therefore have more of an interest in this than any of the parties or candidates. What could be more important than protecting our right to free and fair elections? I wish that the ACLU or some other respected legal organization would take an interest in this.

Protecting our voting rights is not going to get any easier after Bush makes judicial appointments.

6. Here's how one of them - reluctantly told it on AAR - Saturday night
Mike Papantonio - lawyer on the campaign was on Ring on Fire (Air America) with Reno (black comedienne). She asked him why was he turned around from the tarmac - en route for Ohio - election night. After repeated questioning, he admitted that "certain elements in the party thought it would make us look like cry babies"
he proceeded to tell her "get over it" about 10 times to which I am happy to say she yelled: "No way I am"

13. So, according to the logic of the Kerry campaign, "looking like
Edited on Mon Nov-08-04 08:39 PM by smirkymonkey
crybabies" is worse than the destruction of democracy? Why doesn't it surprise me that he'd put his ego ahead of what's right?

And look like crybabies to who? The RIGHT? Why does he care so much what they think? What a coward! :grr:

9. well
when Kerry said repeatedly throughout the primaries that he'd have lawyers all over the place, I thought well what the heck can they do sans documentation (ballots)?

On the other hand, Elizabeth Edwards said in her posts (paraphrasing here) that they were looking at the same data that we were and were equally if not more frustrated.

She also recommended, patience.

That is not in any way shape or form equal to complacence.

There still may be repercussions.

Just pay attention and have some faith.

There's just too much malfaesance to go undetected for long.

17. good points
Also, if it was Kerry's strategy to have 10,000 lawyers waiting to fly anywhere needed, he clearly was ready to fight; my guess is that it was NOT his choice to pull them back, but pressure from the party - who knows what threats or deals were made. We may never know who put on the pressure, but if he were worried about looking like a crybaby, why have them in the ready in the first place? He must've been under tremendous pressure from both parties to concede.
