Reply #7: No, that's not what you're seeing

I was saying Kerry was best off not being there.

I have my doubts whether Boxer's actions helped, but it was necessary to do. If Kerry was there, the right wing media could have made it look like a circus which could have done us more harm than good. With Kerry not there, this is an event which ultimately means little, but there is some small satisfaction that Bush's reelection is officially disputed.

This still leaves Kerry and others free for a more meaningful campaign to fight for election reform, independent from anything which could be portrayed as a tin foil hat attempt to change the election results.
