Celebrate with me (and EFerrari) the irony of John Kerry demanding a full recount

121. Good decision.

Kerry's refusal to challenge 2004 is well worthy of criticism, even after all these years. The theft of Ohio was so blatant in and of itself, which is why a lot of us are still angry at and disappointed in Kerry.

I was a poll runner for the Kerry campaign in Dayton in 2004. I will always remember walking into the HQ around 5 p.m. election night and being told by workers there -- who had been in contact with the state campaign HQ -- that Kerry had Ohio in the bag. And he did -- until all shenanigans started.

A lot of us felt betrayed by his cave in. When that kind of stuff happens, you call them on it, even if it means stopping the process. The Republic won't crumble because election results are delayed by a few weeks (or more). And who knows combine 2004 with 2000, and who knows what would have happened if Kerry had chosen to do the right thing?

Pointless to carry on about it now, though.
