The Kerry, Edwards team is not going to concede the election just yet. Just heard them on Fox News.

"I'm happy! Happy!"

Oh my, a difference of 120.000 votes, and still Kerry won't give up. That's quiet a difference situation then 4 years ago when Florida got a 537 difference.

This really makes Kerry a sore loser.

Kerry just gave his "I'm not dead yet" speech.

Actually Edwards gave it for him.

CNN is calling Ohio too close to call (because of provisional and absentee ballots, which could be up to 600,000), and have given Hawaii, Michigan and Minnesota to Kerry, making it 249 - 242 Bush.

[Sandman]

Four more years of Bush... the mind boggles. What a disaster.

Just realized -- stupid radio. :clueless:

They do, but like I said in one of the other threads, the underlying issues have changed drastically. I can only see a new shift for the Democratic Party to a more moderate stance.

Specifically what issues are you speaking about? The only one I can think of which isn't dead center is gay marriage. What position are you claiming is so extreme?

In other news the people of California have OKed $3 billion dollars for stem cell research. They really are against Bush's effective ban on stem cell research and are willing to fund this research for the good of humanity.

We also decided to create a DNA data base for all convicted felons, mandated that more tax money be kept in the cities & counties instead of the state house, voted against legalizing gambling, allowed new bonds for building new hospitals, and best of all we voted for limiting frivolous lawsuits.

Still to close to call is the proposition requiring all employers with 15 or more employees to give their workers health insurance, changing the three strikes law so that it only applies to violent offenders, and a law which would allow open primaries for all parties. I voted for all three of those and I hope they pass.

That rocks. The Biotech and Pharma industry in California is very strong, and hopefully will continue to be because of bill such as these

Yes.

I wouldn't call Kerry a sore loser yet. Once we have an idea of how many of these provisional ballots there are, and it becomes clear that he can't win, he should concede.

If he tries to drag this on for a month like Gore, it's another story.
