If Kerry doesn't want the job, he can resign and make Edwards Pres

[genius]

If Kerry doesn't support a contest, he should consider this option. Edwards is ready and willing to take over the Presidency. If Kerry has any integrity, he will support our efforts and either take office or allow Edwards to do so.

1. It speaks well of Edwards' gallantry --

-- that he listed as his first priority the health of his wife.

Does anyone know how she is doing? 'Would appreciate an update.

4. The most recent thing I have seen

Is this one:

6. Holland, thank you for that link.

It sounds as if she is in good spirits, anyway.

Much appreciated.

2. Actually, he wouldn't need to resign... Edwards got 1 Electoral Vote.

3. Can We Stick With The Present Please?

We're still in the process of assuring this is even contested on Thursday. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, and not talk about fantasy. Unfortunately for this country, it is apparently an uphill battle to accomplish anything right now, so thinking about an Edwards presidency is kind of ludicrous.

Sorry, but want to concentrate on the certification tomorrow. Or hopefully the lack of certification.

5. I do not think he wants it

7. I'm a little concerned about that phone call from Kerry to the Senators

After his early concession, I don't know for sure that he is on the side of the voters and isn't working to sabotage our efforts. I hope he's on our side.

9. I heard that he keeps orphan children in a cauldron in his basement. Jeez.

11. Hey Freep

How does "I am a little concerned" become " 'I heard that he keeps orphan children in a cauldron in his basement....' "?!?!?

Jeez, yourself. So, where is your apology now?

14. 'working to sabotage our effort'? The guy that would be our President?

That's what I 'Jeezed'. And I'll do it again.

Jeez. :)

12. Don't be silly. We need to be prepared to fight any contingency.

There's another thread about the Kery call and we have lots of reason to be concerned. Boxer said in 2001 that she would have contested if Gore had wanted her to. I'm hoping Kerry's more supportive of a contest this time than Gore was on 1/6/01.

[FreepFryer]

13. Kerry's status is unique and he's balancing masterfully. How sad if at the

last minute, his base lost the ability to suspend their critique for 12 more hours and he lost his means to avoid becoming the issue...

Can we stop creating more 'doubt Kerry' threads PLEASE until the Electoral College meets?

17. i think Kerry may pull

an Al Gore. You know, say that it's the best thing for the country blah, blah. If he wants to run in 2008 this may be the best thing to do. Who knows?

15. Um. No.

18. That release from Cameron Kerry looks like Kerry's sold out to Bush.

I hope that doesn't negatively influence out people.
