Kerry clutches to hopes of recount victory
http://www.northcountynews.com/view.asp?s=11-24-04/news5.htm

by Adam Stone
A White House spokeswoman told North County News last Friday that citizens should embrace the Election Day results and dismiss recount efforts in Ohio that could hand Democratic Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts the presidency.

"The election has ended, and now is the time for the country to come together to address the challenges our nation faces," the spokeswoman, Suzy DeFrancis, remarked.

Bush won Ohio by a vote of 2,796,147 to John Kerry's 2,659,664, according to the official tally.

In a series of e-mail interviews with North County News two weeks ago, Kerry spokesman David Wade spoke about recount efforts led by a team of 17,000 lawyers that could trigger the removal of President George W. Bush from office.

6. I love those words..
"...that could trigger the removal of President George W. Bush from office."

And of course they would say anything to the effect that will Never Happen!

Didn't bush get on national tv on election night before all the voting was done and declare victory?

How Orwellian Bogus is that?

4. Shame on Adam Stone
(or whomever wrote the tag line for that article). It's very misleading. I found no new Kerry statements in that article about the election results. It's all old news (though a good compilation of the old news).

Some supporters of Massachusetts Senator John Kerry and running mate John Edwards cling to the hope that an Ohio recount can swing the election

"Cling to the hope." Makes 'supporters' (i.e., us) sound like sore losers or whatever. Fuck that paper!

10. This country will come together as well as it did in the 90s under
Clinton. Why can't these idiots realize, it's payback time.

11. I sure hope it is true for all of us and our country

he is the best man, I realize we need him in office to survive what is happening to it and us, the economy is going down quickly and Bush is the reason why, Kerry could give us a different direction and other countries would work with him but never with Bush whom they hate.

12. Senator Kerry, to quote your OWN words:
And that is what we are trying to say, that we think this thing
has to end.

We are here to ask, and we are here to ask vehemently,
where are the leaders of our country? Where is the
leadership?

13. Kerry "clutches"? Sort of like "drowning men grasp at straws"?
F*ck the media.

Here's my headline for the article: "A fighting chance remains for Kerry as legal eagles investigate election aftermath."

Eh, probably too long, but at least it's honest.
