slugshooter Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 It's 2 am, Iowa is in a delay cause of broken counting machines. Ohio's too close to call and apparently it'll be next week before they count everything. Starting to look like another 2000. Edwards in 2008.

markyj987 Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Oh Well.... I don't think we'll have another 2000 this time around. Most of the states did a heck of a good job addressing the problems from 2000. The system as it is is still far from perfect, but none of the irregularities at this point seem significant enough to have made a difference.

OJR Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Oh Well.... Edwards comes out and uses all of his wonderful lawyering skills to put a "hold" on the outcome of the election! The next thing for the democrats is to throw themselves on the floor and start kicking just like the 2 year olds they are acting like! They got BEAT! Accept it and let this country go forward instead of playing around like children!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Oh Well.... my point is, why doesn't Kerry be the man that he says that he is and stand up and tell the world that he got his tale kicked............oh, I forgot, he doesn't run his house, his wife with all the money does............remember, she is the only woman in America that has ever held a real job!

wtnhunt Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Oh Well.... No doubt Bush has won it. Kerry can hold it up or go on and do what is best for the country by conceding now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] If you had invested the vast majority of your time in the last year, and tens of millions of dollars into this campaign, would you just up and concede, NO, you would want every vote counted. If Bush were in this situation, would you tell him to suck it up and concede, NO, you would want him to fight for every vote. But, I am a realist, and there is no way that Kerry will win Ohio, he would have to win every provisional ballot cast and thats if all of them were accepted.

johnf Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Oh Well.... If Kerry had a hair on his @$$ he would conceed. For those of you who don't speek redneck. Transalation: If Kerry were a real man he would conceed. ie: Nixon in 1960- There was a real man who had a real argument and did the right thing for the country.

[/ QUOTE ] Really, I do not think Bush would hold it up if the table was turned. But that is my opinion. All Kerry is doing right now is prolonging it. He has to have enough information to realize that there is no chance of his winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldksnarc Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Re: Oh Well.... Trying to figure out if they can cry foul some way like they did in 2000. Without making themselves look like whiners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ILBrad Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Re: Oh Well.... I have disagreed with almost everything slugshooter has ever typed on this forum, but he is right, we would expect Bush to fight to the end. I do give Kerry more credit than I would have ever thought he deserved for handling the situation the way he did. He gave enough time to figure out that it was not going to happen for him and he conceded the election. I think it was perfectly fine to give it a couple of hours to be sure, I never thought I would give the guy any credit for anything decent, but I admire how he handled his concession.
