where have you gone John Kerry? . . .
our nation turns its lonely eyes to you . . .

so what's the consensus . . . will Kerry reverse himself and come out fighting to try to save the US electoral system? . . . or will his concession stand, and leave us with the horror of Bush II? . . . any indications from anywhere what might be happening? . . .

2. It's been one week.
How much time is that in the history if the universe?

Nothing.

We have time. Not a lot, but we have time. Patience.

3. I would prefer for Kerry to come out swinging against the election fraud
and take up residence in the WH. But if he goes back to the Senate and STILL does something about the election fraud, I can take that I guess. Just so long as he does not let this heinous theft of democracy stand.

5. Do you think that...
He will come to DU and expose every tactical decision he has made or will make?

If he did, I would consider the man insane.

Oh, and the story referenced originally? Pablum for those who eat pablum and call it strong meat. Sturm und drang, signifying nothing. For now.

6. No, I don't which is why I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and
assuming he is busy at work behind the scenes.

8. Of course he is.
When Dear Leader takes a time out, you know he really shuts down to the level of basic life support and little more.

Do you think Kerry is like that?

4. Nothing other than...
another story on DU that says that Kerry is all "fired up" to return to the Senate. So he is returning but his run cost Edwards his seat and Daschle his seat...what the hell is he so "fired up" about?

I'm getting sicker and sicker by the minute when I think about how we may have been duped big time. I keep pushing the idea away, but like a pesky mosquito it comes raring right back. Aaarrrrgggggghhhhh!

9. you don't know that
when he conceded he said he would make sure every vote is counted. Now, he may not fight, but he might. Nobody knows right now because we haven't heard from him since that concession speech.

11. Okay
but instincts aren't really reported facts, right? So there's still a chance that he's up to something. We won't know otherwise until he says something in the public eye.

12. Back to his day job. To think he kicked Gore out of the race because
"it was his turn"

Famous last words
He is impatient with Democratic oratory about the "stolen" election.
"Stop crying in your teacups, It isn't going to
change. Get over it."

John Kerry, campaign July2003
