Why was Cam Kerry on CNN with Woodruff. He wasn't asked about vote
problems or Election Fraud. He wasn't asked about recounts or Kerry's letter in support asking for an examination of the ballots.

Didn't Cam Kerry ask DU'ers for information on Vote Fraud right after the election? So, why did she have him on right after segments on the vote recount efforts in Washington State,California and Ohio, yet never asks him about it?

Was it cruelty on her part to jab it in our eyes by having him on and
just asking him questions about the future.

Was it a message to us that nothing will be done further about recounts?

Or, was it Kerry asking his brother to appear so that he keeps his visibility out there but that he refused to discuss the recounts with her in a prior agreement before his appearance because Kerry wants his efforts to be kept quiet?

Any other ideas? It was very strange...:shrug:

3. I'm still doing my Media Boycott but this was a DU alert...so I made it a
point to check it out. I turned it all off afterwards. I figured "Cam Kerry" on? WOW must be big news to have Woodwhore have him on her show.
Since DU reports have said it's as bad as when I turned it off the night of November 2nd.

Good for you...keeping up the boycott...Eventually it will get to their ratings..I can't understand how anyone still watches it.

2. prior to his appearance
They ran a piece quoting Kerry that there wont be enough votes to overturn the election. In their minds ( repuke whoring corporate media) that is all they need to defend not speaking of the vote recount not to mention voting fraud. Woodruff is one of the very worst out there.

4. Yes, but Cam appeared for a reason. He had to clear it with his brother
because of Kerry's position in the Senate...so why did he appear. I'm looking at this as a message to us Democrats out there, and trying to figure out what signal Kerry was sending not Media Whore Woodruff..:shrug: The cables only function with what the Parties give them to go on. So Kerry was sending a message...what was it of my three scenarios or is there another one?

5. Cam did say
That Kerry is doing great and there have not been too many times in our history when a candidate after losing a presidential election stayed in office or chose to run again. He followed by saying Kerry had huge support and these supporters want leadership. Well, something to that effect.

8. Did anyone else see him on CNN? Amazed that there's so few responses..
Does anyone understand the significance of his appearance on the Whore Media..besides me????? :shrug:

He was on CNN for a purpose...I don't know what it was...but I thought we were all fighting for "revote for Kerry?"

Well...not all...some of us want "Election Reform" and the fight without Kerry is more important than what happens with him...in the end.

But, GEEZE! Why are they totally leaving it up to us to pay for "recounts" and all of this when they are all financially well off???:shrug:

9. There is probably no hidden meaning....
...or secret plan by the Kerry campaign. I know many people here are convinced otherwise, and time will tell, but I am about as certain as certain can be that it all ended for him on November 3rd.

When Kerry conceded, he meant it. His team does not believe there are enough votes in Ohio or anywhere else to make Kerry the next President. I don't see how it could be any more clear.

"He wasn't asked about recounts or Kerry's letter in support asking for an examination of the ballots."

This was never the big deal it was made out to be. The Kerry campaign is covering their bases, as well they should, but it's pretty clear they don't expect to find anything significant. I also suspect this action may have doubled as a sop to those whom are very concerned about voting reform and possible fraud. Kerry doesn't want to alienate part of his activist base, and is aware that by doing absolutely nothing that he may do just that. The Kerry campaign also knows full well that the Arnebeck filing will be dismissed by the Ohio Supreme Court, every serious legal expert is aware of this, so his team knows this angle is a deadend as well.

"Was it a message to us that nothing will be done further about recounts?"

Sometimes a TV interview is just a TV interview. I doubt seriously if there is any hidden message. If the Kerry campaign had something to say, they'd say it.

"Or, was it Kerry asking his brother to appear so that he keeps his visibility out there but that he refused to discuss the recounts with her in a prior agreement before his appearance because Kerry wants his efforts to be kept quiet?"

If Kerry is pursuing some steath strategy it sure is dumb. Waiting a few days to see how things shake out and get a grasp on the situation facing him, maybe - waiting until the electors cast for Bush and essentially make him President, stupid. The simple fact is, Kerry believes he lost and that is why he conceded. Unless real proof of fraud is uncovered that could alter the balance in Ohio or some other major states, this election is over.
