Need to tunnel through a mountain? Grond. Kill a mighty ogre? Grond. Hangnail? Grond. Spider? Grond (actually, that's a legit use, moreso than the rest)." - Peacedog

His electors would go to the Electoral College, and they would vote him in, whether he wanted it or not.qp wrote:Hey is Kerry's conceding to Bush a legally binding thing, ie what would happen now if it was discovered that by some freak of statistics that he actually did have enough votes to win in Ohio?
AFAIK, he is honor-bound to his concession, but I doubt that would mean much in the long run. But my guess is that this concession wasn't coming until they knew that there was no chance for the math to work out in their favor.
Does his concession affect Ohio's decision to even dig into the provisional ballots? Aren't those only supposed to be looked at if they could effect the election (which one could argue that they can't, since Kerry has removed himself from the race)?

Make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range

OK, we've done the predictions for what the tickets will be in the next presidential election.jblank wrote:Officially a Democrat, I will be contacting the TN Dept. of Voter Registration (or its equivilent) to officially change my voter registration.

Now, what are your predictions for jblank's next party affiliation?
I predict that Eduardo_X will recruit him into the anarcho-communist cause. (No offense jblank, just yanking yer chain!)

Agree on all points.Tareeq wrote:Good speech. As with Al Gore, his concession is the best speech he ever gave. I don't say that because I'm glad to see him go.
Why is it that so many politicians only become real people when it's too late?
I think it's probably because they stop listening to their handlers and just speak from their hearts.
