I had a thrilling day today -- met Governor Granholm & John Kerry

[SharonRB]

Check out my photo album of the last couple of days.

I was out in the field with Nancy yesterday. Today, I first attended a debate Nancy had with the woman who is challenging Knollenberg in the primary. Then I went on to a rally for volunteers and precinct captains where Kerry and Granholm spoke.

After that, I went to a fundraiser for the Governor at a state rep's house. There were about 50 people there and Kerry and Granholm both attended and spoke. That's where I got to meet both of them, speak to them for a few minutes and get my picture taken.

And Kerry told me (and the crowd at the rally) he knows he won the election. He's freely admitting it now.

1. If only he would have spoken up about that back in November of 2004

maybe we wouldn't be going through any of this hell today.

I'm sorry, but he's talking a little too little too late. Back then, he conceded, and left people like Keith who didn't believe in the legitimacy of the results to twist in the wind rather than trying to challenge anything. And left us all to four more years of...this.

To which I say: Thanks a lot.

2. Way to lead from the rear John Kerry

he had the data and knew the crap in Nov. of 04 .... fact.

Although during the campaign I got to know some of his staff
from D.C. and they told wonderful stories about the many class
things he did and would not allow any P.R. about it. I also met one
of the guys who was on the boat with him when he crawled out
to pull a man out of the river while bleeding from a wound in his
arm and shoulder.

good for you S! Keep fighting .... BTW Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

3. After seeing him today, he's moved back up on my list

I think Gore is still at the top, but if he really doesn't run, Kerry is right up there for me. A Gore/Kerry ticket or the reverse would be great, but I don't think either of them, especially Gore, would consider the second spot on the ticket. Been there, done that for him. If he caves and runs, it will be Prez or nothing.

4. I never could support him again.

If he wins the primary I would vote for Kerry but his utter lack of not
standing up to the theft has left me cold. I know for a fact that Cliff Arnebeck
recount attorney in Ohio gave Kerry's top lawyer data from Cuyahoga County that
was just damning in November or early December '04. Kerry also saw the
data out of New Mexico too.

His staff was told to act dumb every time somebody gave them another piece
of data showing Kerry won. And now he admits it was stolen ... Christ the exist polls
told him he won it.

I stood on Ohio State's campus 5 days before the election w/ tears running
down my face as Springsteen sang "No Retreat, No Surrender" but sadly Kerry
did just that retreated and surrendered ..... we needed a leader then because
every time somebody brought the fraud "the right" would say, "Kerry didn't challenge it."

Look he is but all accounts a great guy and a very good senator but presidential
material .... But I will take Al Gore any day of the week.

Tonight
C-Span 2 rebroadcast of Harlem Book Fair

from C-span website - Sunday, July 23, 10 p.m. EDT, which would put
the Elections Panel beginning about 11:45 p.m. Program that VCR!

Paul Robeson Jr. does the math off the New York Times breakdown figures which changed two days later..

This commentary was just given today at the book fest panel on the 2004 stolen election . It was some great stuff!
Here is the link to the original DU discussion posted by indyOp
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

Has anyone found a link to the Cspan2 show on the net? it is well worth seeing!

Short version 2000.. 1.1 million votes stolen from Black voters
2004 had the same 1.1 million stolen plus 2.2 latino votes plus invalid votes and amazingly the Nader votes. He does the exact math but I am having to go from memory...

3.4 million was the magic theft number for 2004.

Robeson claims New York Times is complicit in the theft! He says the numbers are all their in the ethnic breakdowns plus the invalid votes and the Nader votes. Wonderful testimony!

This was what we were looking for right after the 2004 election!

5. As I said, Gore is still at the top for me, but Kerry is back in second

[Botany]

6. Give me Clark or John Edwards or Bill Richardson ...

..... or that Montana Gov. fellow, or Nancy Pelosi, or ......

Please God not Hillary Clinton .... i support most of her politics but
she is just too manipulative and "they" have done a ton of "research"
on her already.

But forget 08 ..... 06 is the battle .... take back Congress and then we can
start to clean house .... John Conyers w/ Subpoena powers ..... "oh mr blackwell
or mr ney ..... we have some questions"

In Ohio I am big on Mary Jo Kilroy for the U.S. House and Jennifer Brunner for Sec. of
State.
