I am not so sure that a concession would matter if the votes turned in Kerry's favor and all of the subsequent recounts (and one can bet it would drag on for months) have verified that he did in fact win Ohio. It would be real interesting to see how it would play out.

However, there is not a snowball's chance in hell that it would ever happen. If it does I will buy N6WK a dinner if he is ever in my area or I am in his.

It is numerically impossible for Kerry to win Ohio, and that has been known since Thursday.

According to a ChannelCincinnati.com (http://www.channelcincinnati.com/news/3964306/detail.html) (which looks like the local NBC station from the logo) story from December 2, 2004, (that was Thursday), Ohio's 88 counties have validated 121,598 ballots.

Bush's victory was by 136,483 votes.

Seems Kerry is almost 15,000 votes short... 14,885, to be exact... even if every single provisional ballot is for Kerry! (and wouldn't that be, um, interesting if it was?)

For comparison, that is more than the margin of victory in New Hampshire (9,171 votes), New Mexico (6,047 votes), or Pennsylvania (11,813 votes). One wonders why the Kerry folks are not calling for recounts in those states.

Ahh, ZRT, ya gotta read the entire article.

From your own article:

Quote[/b] ]The margin shrank primarily because of the addition of provisional ballots that were not counted on Election Day and were not included in the unofficial tally.

See, the 136,000 figure is pre-provisional ballot. If we take the 17,000 votes out of the 136,000, we also have to take it out of the 121,000 provisional ballots still outstanding... and Kerry is still 15,000 votes short.

Nice try, tho. We have some lovely parting gifts for you and for your loser candidate.

p.s. for all you Kerry supporters. &quot;Loser&quot; is an accurate description for the Senator, since he lost the election. Don't get your buns in an uproar about it. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Oh, you mean the ones where people went and voted once at the proper precinct and then went to another precinct and filled out a provisional, and then went to a third and did the same thing, and so on?

Yeah, the ones that are claimed by unnamed &quot;critics.&quot;

Show me the actual ballots and we'll see.

And, I reiterate my earlier question... if it is so critically important that every vote be counted, how about recounts in New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Pennsylvania, where the margin of victory was less than Ohio?

Hmmm... maybe because Kerry knows his lead would not stand up to a recount in those states?

[KD7ZRT]

Unfortunately, its a money issue...

Cobb and Badnarik have filed a request for a recount in New Mexico. We do expect a recount there.

Their request in Nevada has been withdrawn for monetary reasons. The Nevada Secretary of State's office wanted $349,000 in compensation.

Certainly, I'd like to see investigations in all states where the numbers suggest foul play. We have to start somewhere.

If you believe the people of the United States deserve a genuine, open democracy, please consider donating (http://web.greens.org/c/cobb/supporters.cgi?function=donate) a few dollars to the recount effort.

Nothing blind about it. They wouldn't be in those jobs if they couldn't do the job, therefore, absent evidence to the contrary, I choose to believe that they are at least minimally competent.

You seem to be making the Bush campaign &quot;guilty until proven innocent.&quot; I thought in America we believe in &quot;innocent until proven guilty.&quot; But I guess that doesn't apply to Republicans if you're a liberal, does it? http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

they do not deserve to be counted, they are NON VOTES.

I worked the polls. There were very detailed instructions to the voters on what exactly they needed to do to vote.

One of the instructions was to insert the card into the voting machine, face UP. We had ONE that did not, we gave him a new ballot.

Another instruction was to push the pin all the way down.

Another instuction was that if they required assistance, two workers would help (one dem, one rep), and if needed, they would provide &quot;curbside&quot; asistance by taking a voting machine insert and a ballot to the car.

And still another instruction was to LOOK at the card to verify that there were no &quot;hanging chad&quot;.

If a voter was unable to follow the simple instructions, it is only their own fault for not doing the job correctly.

We even had some voters ask &quot;are we required to vote for people? we only want to vote issues&quot;. So I can fully understand why a ballot could be missing a vote for president, but have a vote for a school bond issue.

Just because someone voted, does not mean they HAD to vote for a president.

Well David, Bush is in the &quot;Job&quot; but he actually isn't capable of doing it, so your statement doesn't hold up
Perhaps he is not capable in your opinion, but in the opinion of the majority of his employers (the citizens of the United States), he is capable. Remember, he received over 60 million votes, over three million more than his closest opponent. That's gotta count for something, especially after all the liberal whining when he won the electoral vote but lost the popular vote. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Quote[/b] (N6WK @ Dec. 05 2004,01:56)]Well, In your opinion he is capable. The fact is, he only received all those votes because there wasn't a GOOD alternative.
In the iopinion of Many Anmericans, he is the WORST&quot; president of all times. It does look like we are stuck with him for 4 more years (sigh). too bad for America.
Even the Majority of his cabinet is bailing because of how bad he is! It is a SAD day or America that he won the Election, ( or did he?)
I want to know, Does he get docked pay for all the time he was out Campaigning instead of running the government??
Does he get docked for all the time he takes off for &quot;Vacation&quot; ??
( more then any other President in History) ??
He may have won the election, but he is still a LOSER in my opinion!!

So this time he actually won the popular Vote...after the last election we all know that means NOTHING!!!
WK:

WHO says &quot;worst president of all times&quot;??

They must be CHILDREN, because the do not remember, Richard Nixon, who resigned, Jimmy Carter, who only lusted in his heart, BJ Clinton who not only lusted in his heart, but the Oval Office and any dark hole he could hide in. LB Johnson who could not win a war over a tiny country, and handed us a defeat that haunted the military for over 15 years and still haunts the Senate, 24% interest rates, run-a-way inflation that was so bad that businesses could not print prices in catalogs - the catalog was out of date before it was printed.

WORST!?

I can think of many more worse. How about Hoover, he was blamed for the Great Depression, how about Truman, he dropped the bomb (that's a favorite with some on your side of the isle).

Worst?

I don't think so.

Keep trying.

Oh, while on the subject, Does Kerry and Edwards get docked pay for all the time they spent on the campaign trail, or all those meeting that Kerry missed?

Are the parents of soldiers going to sue Kerry for vetoing bills that would have provided better armor? How about a taxpayers suit against BJ Clinton for spending cruise missles and not replacing them?

Leave them alone -- heck they probably still have folks counting the votes in Florida because they believe Gore actually won!

Election is done, instead of pointing fingers and playing he-said, she said, isn't it time to get behind the man elected and get something done for a change.

As for the disagreements -- which are valid. If you don't like what Bush is doing (and I DONT LIKE what he has planned for Social Security), write your Senators and Congressman.

And if you don't want another Bush Clone in office, better select someone besides Kerry or Hillary in 2008!

[n5tjd]

Also, many Presidents, even Clinton upon relelection lost cabinet members. That is perfectly normal, and not just because they don't like working for the person.

If you don't want a Republican for president, get another guy/gal who gives us a better choice next time around. It was hands down for me and many others this time around. I don't vote blind, if I see one candidate is better than the other choices that is who I vote for. I want it to be a hard choice, because that means whoever wins, I will like more than I dislike. I am not happy with everything Bush does. I think things could be done better, but I felt I had more in common wih him than Kerry.

First, on the cabinet members changing... it happens nearly every second term. Consider the latest 2-term President, Mr. Clinton.

Secretary of State:
Warren M. Christopher, 1993
Madeleine Albright, 1996

Secretary of the Treasury:
Lloyd Bentsen, 1993
Robert E. Rubin, 1995–1999
Lawrence H. Summers, 1999

Secretary of Defense:
Les Aspin, 1993
William J. Perry, 1994
William S. Cohen, 1997

Secretary of Agriculture:
Mike Espy, 1993
Dan Glickman, 1995

Secretary of Commerce:
Ronald H. Brown, 1993
Mickey Kantor, 1996
William M. Daley, 1997
Norman Y. Mineta, 2000

Secretary of Labor:
Robert B. Reich, 1993
Alexis Herman, 1997

Secretary of Housing and Urban Development:
Henry G. Cisneros, 1993
Andrew M. Cuomo, 1997

Secretary of Transportation:
Federico F. Pena, 1993
Rodney Slater, 1997

Secretary of Energy:
Hazel R. O'Leary, 1993
Frederico F. Pena, 1997
Bill Richardson, 1998

Some of those positions, like Treasury, Defense, Energy, and especially Commerce were basically revolving doors during Clinton's administration. How many Cabinet members did Bush have to replace before Nov 2?

As for getting docked while campaigning, did Senator Kerry and Senator Edwards also get docked while they were campaigning?

[K8YS]

the big difference between the the Bush staff and the Clinton staff, is that the Bush staff leave STANDING UP.

At least one of the departing Cabinet members only promised the President four years. The one I am sure of is Colin Powell. There may be others that made the same deal.

So, Powell leaves, and that means Bush is a bad guy. If Bush persuaded Powell to go back on his word, that would mean that Bush is a bad guy.

Isn't that tolerant and compassionate of the liberals? Bush is bad no matter what he does.

When will the pathetic whining end? Some liberals are also complaining that the electronic voting machines were rigged. Get over yourselves. You just can NOT believe that the majority of this nation does not see things your way. Well... Got bad news for ya.

You guy's are forgetting something very important... who won in Ohio is not important anymore. The President is elected by the Electorial Colledge, and they voted Dec 3rd ... they are the only Votes who count,. Bush was elected by majority vote in the electorial colledge as the Constitution requires and will be President for the next 4 years and there is nothing anyone can do to change that fact.. the Dems are trying to find a way to illigitamize his next 4 years as they tried to do in his first 4 years... if more people would actually read the constitution every once in a while
this type of cry baby antics by the liberals would not cause such contraversy and things would run much smoother... and we could actually hold our elected officials responcible when they operate outside the authorized powers they hold.

Hate to contradict anyone giving liberals a hard time, LGY, but the Electors do not vote till December 13th, not December 3rd. The Electors need to be named by December 7th, and the final results need to be in the hands of the National Archives and Records Administration by December 22.

There were plenty of other choices.

Michael Badnarik, Libertarian
Michael Peroutka, Constitution
David Cobb, Green

While you're checking the dictionary, Mr. Know-it-All, you might look up the proper spelling of &quot;preparation.&quot;

And I've said it before, it's David, not Davie. I thought making fun of someone's name went out somewhere around the 3rd or 4th grade.

Such is the state of the modern Democratic party, I guess.

I'm actually a Republican!!!
If you're a Republican, then you're a RINO: Republican In Name Only. You'd probably be much happier in the Democratic party.

And, if you're a Republican, why did your feathers get so ruffled with Steve called the other party &quot;Dim-o-crats&quot;?

Methinks thou'rt not so much a Republican.

Thank the Sweet Lord for the quoting feature, otherwise I would have missed Gordo's deleted posts. Hee-larious!

Luckily, NOT deleted, and preserved for all posterity, is WK saying:

There is something that REALLY strikes me as funny when I see you list the words that bother you. I guess I missed the memo from the QRZ.COM staff that said &quot;All words used on the QRZ forum *MUST* be found in the dictionary, or the remarks will be deemed uncivil.&quot; HAW!!

Don't worry, Dave and Gordon, I am NOT offended by suggestions that my butt hurts or that I'm flying high on Whacky Tobaccky. If I'm laughing (was and still am), I'm not offended. I would MUCH rather take a well-articulated zinger from Gordo (silly as they may be) than the typical oafish, brain dead, semi-literate taunts that SOME people spew on here. Have at me -- I'm fair game. (But don't tick off Glen.)

Grabbing wheel, hitting the gas, and steering sharply back on topic..... if I were the Dummycrats, I'd spend less time throwing tantrums about how unfair the outcome was and MORE time coming up with candidates and policies that MOST people in this great nation can stomach. The party of wasteful spending, big and bumbling government, high taxes, weak national defense, and softness on crime needs to appeal to MORE than just college children, stay at home dads, soccer moms, and Pacific Northwesterners. Hint: Just say 'no' to Hillary.

Between you, me, and the 50 foot tower out back, I was SURE GW Bush was ripe for the picking this time, and that the Duh-mocrats would win in a walk.

Then they tried to sell us Kerry.

Oh, it looked good for Botox Boy for a while. Then, unfortunately, we got a whiff of what he was really all about. Then it was &quot;good night, nurse&quot; for Mr and Mrs Pickle Puss.

I hear Kerry just got a new job at a drive-in movie establishment. They'll be showing movies on his forehead every Friday night.

Finally, from Gordo,

<span style='color:red'>I'm actually a Republican!!!</span>

I know! And I'm actually the Pope, ferchrissake. (Another word CLEARLY not in the dictionary.)

Good day to YOU sir.

I *said* GOOD DAY.

Oh, what do you know, N6WK has deleted his offensive post. Vewwy Intewesting!

New rule at the N7AAO shack... all N6WK posts will be quoted in their entirety... I may even quote a few that I don't want to respond to, just to save them for posterity.

As for party affiliation, I am <span style='color:red'>NOT</span> a Republican, despite what it says on my Voter Registration card (I just picked the GOP because the other choices were even worse, IMHO). I am a <span style='color:green'>conservative</span> and darned proud of it, thankyouverymuch.

If the Democrats had run, say, Joe Lieberman, I'd have had a very tough decision on my hands. While I do support some (note: I said some) of Dubya's ideas, there are also some that I don't support, like his out-of-control spending. And I have said so before.

But no, the Democrats had to go wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out to the left and grab the most liberal current member of the Senate, and then he picked the fourth most liberal of the Senate to run with. (BTW, N6WK, you haven't answered whether Kerry and Edwards have reimbursed the American Citizens for their wages while they were campaigning... HAW!™) Anyway, once the &quot;electable&quot; Kerry was chosen, the race was all but over... Kerry had far too many skeletons in his closet.

If the Democrats ever want to see one of their own in the Oval <s>Orifice</s>... I mean Oval Office (oops, flashed back to the Clinton era for a moment there), they need to head towards the center not just in rhetoric but in reality. Sadly, I doubt that the Michael Moores, the Assorted Als (Sharpton, Gore, Franken, etc), or the remaining Clintonistas will allow that. So, Democrats, get used to being the minority party for a long, long time.

There are some serious issues raised here... Voter supression, more votes than voters, strange increases in third party voting, computer errors, et al. In particular, the hours long lines in urban precints seems entirely unaceptable to me.

yea, I'd like to know too - CONSIDERING that the B of E is bi-partisan. An equal number of &quot;them&quot; and &quot;us&quot; at each polling place.

I'd like to know why the DNC was sending out absentee ballots and the voter not knowing they received an absentee ballot.

I'd like to know why there were so many &quot;Snow White&quot;, &quot;Charles Brown&quot; and &quot;Foghorn Leghorn&quot; registered in some counties.

I'd like to know why the DNC sponcered a cash reward for signing up new voters.

I'd like to know why voters cannot follow the law.

I'd like to know why some voters are allowed to have more than one person in the polling booth at a time.

You consider it worth reading, I consider it complete BS, because it comes from Dems. I don't how the Dems treated Blackwell as Mayor of Cincinnati, but since he got elected Secretary of State 10 years ago, they haven't let up.

Ken Blackwell has the audacity to credit hard work for his accomplishments and his international prestige, rather than Affirmative Action and Democratic policies.
He doesn't subscribe to the preferred myth of the Dem party that because he's black, he owes everything to Dems.

I can only wonder who really dictated the letter, or who put the bug in Conyers ear for the letter to be written. Proctor of Toledo? Stephanie Tubb-Jones, perhaps? It might explain why they mention a name that isn't even a county in Ohio, Mahong. If they meant Mahoning, why couldn't they spell it correctly? Oh that's right! They're Dems!

BTW, I'm not a Republican. Hell, I'm not really sure I'm a true conservative. I just hate BS, especially the kind the liberals have been giving an honorable man like Blackwell for the past 10 years. It is high time it stop!

I must humbly beg your forgiveness, sir, I must have heard the report wrong on the top-of-the-hour ABC Radio news.

Here is the story that I mis-heard:

Quote[/b] ]Washington, DE, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- The chairman of the Democratic National Committee says Democrats will &quot;spend whatever it takes&quot; on a comprehensive study of election practices in Ohio.

Courtesy UPI, via Washington Times (http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20041206-124847-4142r.htm).

I heard &quot;spend whatever it takes&quot; and Ohio and made the erroneous conclusion that they were referring to the recount, not a &quot;study.&quot;

My bad, sorry.

By the way, the Ohio recount is now officially pointless (it was only unofficially pointless before).

Quote[/b] ]COLUMBUS, Ohio - This battleground state on Monday certified President Bush's 119,000-vote victory over John Kerry, even as the Kerry campaign and third-party candidates prepared to demand a statewide recount.

The president won Ohio with 2.86 million votes, or 51 percent, to Kerry's 2.74 million votes, or 49 percent.

The 118,775-vote lead was closer than the unofficial election night margin of 136,000, but not enough to trigger a mandatory recount. Absentee ballots and provisional votes counted after election night made most of the difference.

I heard an, as yet, unconfirmed report that Martin Sheen is thinking about running for Governor of Ohio. Democrats tried something like that in their last &quot;goober&quot;-natorial run. They put up the husband of Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) as candidate. His name is Tim Hagan. Mulgrew managed to piss off more voters than our unrepentant, incumbent RINO governor did. So he got 4 more years. I guess he hasn't done too much damage. Nothing irreparable, at least.

I can't believe people can't get over the fact that the election IS OVER!! Enough already, I'm all for being fair and making sure all the votes are counted, but come on already. We should just be glad that it was more decisive than the horrible 2000 Florida debacle. Bush won, by a slim margin perhaps, but he won and the world will not end because of it. We've survived bad presidents from both parties before, and we will again.

AMEN, but will someone please tell this to Jesse Jackson? He is in Ohio, saying how corrupt the vote was, how 90,000 people were too stupid to vote for a president, how the &quot;corrupt elections officials&quot; threw the vote. He neglected to say the fact of the matter is that the Board of Elections is 50/50 bi-partisan, so if there were so many corrupt elections officials, then 50% are democrats too... that it is entirely possible that 90,000 just did not vote for president. He should consider 90,000 votes to be for the &quot;None Of The Above&quot; party.

AMEN, Bush won, by a majority, maybe slim in percentage, but sizable in numbers, but Bush won. GET OVER IT.

And, in breaking news, this from Yahoo! News (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20041228/ap_on_re_us/ohio_vote):

Quote[/b] ]TOLEDO, Ohio - Election officials finished the presidential recount in Ohio on Tuesday, with the final tally shaving about 300 votes off President Bush (news - web sites)'s six-figure margin of victory in the state that gave him a second term.

The recount shows Bush winning Ohio by 118,457 votes over John Kerry (news - web sites), according to unofficial results provided to The Associated Press by the 88 counties. Lucas County, home to Toledo, was the last to finish counting.

The state had earlier declared Bush the winner by 118,775 votes and plans to adjust its totals to reflect the recount later this week.

[...]

Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell has estimated that the recount will end up costing taxpayers $1.5 million.

Let's see... $1.5 million, 300 votes... that's about $5,000 per vote. Looks like the Democrats are being generous with the taxpayers' money again. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
