Kerry conceded too soon, Jackson asserts

BY JOHN BEBOW

Chicago Tribune


(KRT) - Claiming Ohio's 2004 election results were more troubling than Florida's four years ago, the Rev. Jesse Jackson on Thursday said Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry called it quits too soon.

"Kerry conceded much too quickly, before the facts were in," Jackson said in a conference call with reporters to discuss an ongoing challenge to Ohio's election results.

3. Well, PROFESSOR

If we were ALLOWED TO GET THE GD EVIDENCE WE COULD PROVE IT!

I wish to hell these people would stop saying this. How can we establish anything unless we hand recount the whole state? IDIOT.

[fshrink]

4. And we could probably do that

if we stil had a candidate.

12. Kerry

There is a link on buzzflash - Kerry to file suit tomorrow or mon. was going to do today, but delayed due to snow storm. suit re: Ohio recount. Barb

14. He is only there to say exactly that--we've heard it from day one.

We've been hearing it in every article of the MSM and we will hear it at every turn from here on out. It's their way of giving the lazy minded their overview of the situation, of dismissing all the foul play as moot.

F*ckers!

6. where is 41 pg. report?

No sign of it on the rainbow/push.org site, which uses online FMPro databases (??)

"The concerns are detailed in a 41-page petition contesting the election before the Ohio Supreme Court."

I'll search the ohio supreme court site but their turnaround might be a few days or a few weeks..

24. A concession speech means nothing in the event

ELECTION FRAUD is proven and criminally prosecuted! You know, I like Kerry. I would love to see him in the WH, but damn people THIS is not about who resides in the WH at this moment or the next 4 years!

When will people realIze that criminal prosecution and a revamped election system is a far more noble goal than placing someone in the WH! I WANT TO KNOW THE NEXT TIME I GO TO THE POLLS THAT MY BALLOT WILL BE CAST AND COUNTED FOR THE CANDIDATE I VOTED FOR!

5. yep, too soon

:smoke:

[googly]

8. Agreed Kerry conceded too soon. Now he will be called a super

flip-flopper if he UNconcedes. He is caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place. He is screwed, and so are we.

[New Earth]

9. he doesn't have to unconcede

[politicasista]

10. He conceded too soon

How come? So many people here are growing impatient.

[barbarag]

13. concede

I don't believe there is a legal term as unconcede - conceding has no legal standing. I wonder if enough wrong doing could be found in Ohio, maybe we could possibly get a revote which might be better than recount. Barb

[googly]

20. Right Barb, I did not mean "legally" unconcede, I was referring to

the political spin repugs would put on Kerry changing his mind.
Since Ohio has repug majorities in legislature, SoS, and probably
courts, I do not see a realistic possibility of a revote.

I have said it before and I will say it again, we should have gone
after other states where Bush** has narrower wins, such as Iowa,
New Mexico and such. Our chances there were far far better than Ohio.

[IndyPriest]

11. I don't think Jackson is condemning Kerry, just

pointing to a fact. And, certainly, keeping the spotlight on the issue! You rock, Jesse!

[loudsue]

15. I wish we had a Jackson, Conyers and Arnbeck available for Florida, NM, &

the rest of the "swing" states!!!

We need powerful teams everywhere that machines defaulted to bush, and where thousands of people were disenfranchised by the repukes!!

:kick::kick:

[anamandujano]

16. Eventually it will all come out.

I'm sure I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know.

Once the team makes the case in Ohio, it will become obvious that the repukes cheated everywhere, because they will not ask for recounts in states that Kerry won. They can't because the fradulent padding for Bush will be exposed there also. I think they were planning on the nationwide popular win and insurmountable state margins to forestall and demoralize ANY thought of a recount.

Hopefully though, lots of states will recount so that it all can be documented for history.




edit to add--thank heaven for the glibs and Jesse Jackson.

17. Didn't Nader get a recount in NH? Blue state...

[shraby]

18. In 11 precincts only.

[IndyOp]

21. The New Hampshire recount came out clean...

They did only count 11 precincts, but everything about the recount procedure was above-board and the person who requested and supervised the recount -- DU's own hedda_foil says that it was clean.

Why the huge discrepancy tabulated votes and exit polls? We will have to wait until the exit polls are released.

:kick:

[anamandujano]

25. I should clarify

I meant that I don't think the repukes will attempt to flip any states to Bush because they have most likely padded everywhere. In 2000 the talking heads kept droning on about Bush contesting other close states if Gore took florida and then he would still win.

I think that they won't want recounts anywhere. I'm not sure what to think about New Hampshire.
