  •  I Love the Slogan, but... (3.50 / 2)

    I have to disagree with you about Kerry.  Tell me what happens if he publicly gets involved with this?  He gets bashed by the media, and his support erodes.  I mean, all of us will continue to do whatever we can for the man, but the average political observer will be turned off.

    The fraud claims are more credible with Kerry behind the scenes.  If Kerry and the DNC were openly pursuing this, what credibility is that?  

    Nothing is conclusive right now.  There are some interesting theories, some solid evidence, but nothing that concludes Kerry should have won Ohio.  With people like Cobb, Badnarik, etc pursuing recounts, he doesn't have to make this thing public.  It is extremely smart of him to lay low during all this.  

    I just don't understand what people want the man to do.  He bowed down gracefully.  He did what he thought was best for the country.  With Kerry and the DNC out of the picture (at least publicly), the republicans can not put that sore loser label on us.  They got nothing.  Public support rises because it appears something strange happened in Ohio, and it wasn't even the Kerry campaign or the DNC making the charges.

    So, please, do not worry about John Kerry.  He knows what he is doing.  His silence may be frustrating, but it is the smart thing to do.
