I thought McCain lost the election?
John Kerry when he gave up and let Bush take Ohio without a fight no one cared what he had to say after so why does McCain's opinion matter?

McCain is a senile bitter old man who just needs to check into a retirement home, not stand on the public soapbox.

1. Kerry didn't 'let' Bush take Ohio, he had no legal evidence to continue in court because DNC let RNC

'take Ohio' in the years before 2000, 2002 and 2004.

BTW - you haven't figured it out yet that corporate newsmedia actually has a CONSIDERABLE SAY in how lawmakers are presented to the public? After Katrina and two years of record home foreclosures, their tactics to boost Republicans and downplay Democrats aren't working as well for them.

5. Wrong! Kerry coincided the day after the election while the count was still going on.
Nice try though.

8. baloney - Kerry conceded at 10 the next day, the slowest concession in history...
Edited on Wed Feb-25-09 07:58 PM by blm
and only because the math was against him and the 137,000 provisional ballots wouldn't make up the difference. Unlike the situation with Gore who believed himself to be 50,000 down when he conceded on election night, but, then the math changed for him and he UNCONCEDED.

Your try wasn't nice and not accurate.

2. Does McCain's opinion matter to you? Here, focus on what
Kerry has to say instead of McCain.

3. All he is doing
Is trying to lead a party that is doomed to fail. They have no leader, and he "was" the nominee, so he thinks he has to speak out. Nobody is listening to him, not even his own party! It just shows that they are so hard up for a "plan", and for a spokesperson, that they fall back on the guy who "lost" the election! I say keep those idiots coming, the more they talk the dumber they sound! :crazy:
