It's all quite interesting. Would be a bit strange if it actually did happen. I thought it was interesting as well that Sen. Kerry's ballot that he cast was ballot number 667. Wonder if he really got number 666 and asked for the next one up.

They have a limited amount of money, so they are focusing on it in the States that if switched will actually change the result of the election.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi
Why no recount in WI?
That's why I don't understand the strategy of these other parties.
How is it sour grapes to spend money wisely in this way?

Kerry/Edwards announce their support of the recount (which will happen):
NEW YORK - You don’t have to wait for the Ohio Presidential Recount to get confused. Just pay attention to the recasting of news releases from the Ohio Democratic Party.
Early Monday afternoon, Ohio Chairman Dennis White released a comparative bombshell inside the still tiny world of the Recount-Conscious. It bore the headline “Kerry/Edwards Campaign Joins Ohio Recount” and advised that “assuring Ohioans receive an accurate count of all votes cast for president has prompted the Democratic Party to join the initiative to recount the results of the November 2 presidential election.”Howard Fineman, chief political correspondent of Newsweek and since the days of our old The Big Show an MSNBC analyst, summed up the exact inexactitude of Kerry and the Democrats about Ohio, on the Monday Countdown. “They keep saying these little things designed to make clear, at least to their supporters and the whole blogosphere out there, that they take the possibility (of a Kerry victory) and the need for a recount seriously.”Comment

Some of you guys don't seem to get that this affecting the outcome of the election is just as real as it was in Florida 2000. Its just that the media is burying the story this time around... you should realize that Sava.
It might not happen, but then again it might. Its not an infintesimal possibility anymore. Its very real.

So much for the third party tactic.udge denies third-party candidates' vote recount request
Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Version
TOLEDO, Ohio -- A federal judge on Tuesday denied a request by third-party presidential candidates who wanted to force a recount of Ohio ballots even before the official count was finished.
U.S. District Judge James G. Carr in Toledo ruled that the candidates have a right under Ohio law to a recount, but they have not shown "that they will be harmed irreparably if the recount is not completed by the time Ohio's electors to the Electoral College must be certified."
The judge said Green Party presidential candidate David Cobb and Libertarian presidential candidate Michael Badnarik could not credibly claim that they did or could garner enough votes to have Ohio's presidential electors cast their votes for them.
The two third-party candidates received a combined 0.26 percent of the vote in unofficial results. They contend a re-count is necessary to ensure accuracy.
Carr wrote that he saw no reason to interfere with the final stages of Ohio's 2004 electoral process.
The lawsuit had asked Carr to issue a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction requiring Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell to immediately begin statewide recount of Nov. 2 voting results. It also asked that Blackwell ensure that the re-count be completed by Dec. 7, the date that Ohio's electors will be certified for the electoral college.
As for the provisionals:
Bush +27,198
Kerry +22,393
and Cuyahoga County, the big democratic one with Cleveland, is reported a lower then state average rate of provisional accpetance. Kerry would have need near unanamity to prevail on provisional ballots, and Bush already has over 27,000 votes from them. Give it up libs, you lose."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

The real number will come in with the recount when under/over votes are counted, as well as the rest of the prov. ballots.Comment

Total vote counts are meaningless since population changes over time. The real figure is percentage of votes since that allows you to compare apples to apples.Originally posted by JimmyCracksCorn
He lost by more votes than any other President (excluding Bush 2004) has ever won by. Thats no small thing.
