What if Bush wins the popular vote, but


Recommended Posts

John Kerry would be president and the media wouldnt blink an eye and thats the way it should be.

Actually, there'd be a shitload of lawsuits contesting the election results in various states based on the mechanics of vote-casting, voter registration, vote counting, and the validity of the electoral college itself, ultimately resulting in John Kerry being President...but being referred to as a "false" President who "stole the election" by about half the country. And the media would feed the whole frenzy, because it means bigger ratings and more ad revenue for them.

my guess is that no one on the left would make a peep about how their candidate "stole" the election.

If all the votes are counted and no one is trying to strong-arm black voters out of the democratic process, it shouldn't be a problem either way.

 

But I think all sides should be concerned about the electronic voting machines.

How will the rhetoric of 2000 be re-visited? By the press? By the DNC?

Your hypothetical is not complete. It would have to include the election being decided in one state by less than 600 votes where Kerry's brother is the governor with many allegations of ballot and polling place "irregularities". You would also have to add in state courts being overturned by federal courts on issues of state law with the whole mess being decided by a Supreme Court that just happens to have a number of Justices who were appointed by Kerry's father. If that happens and the left is silent and the right complains then yes indeed, everyone, right and left, will be hypocrites.

 

Interesting. Apparently you are running out of things to mock the left out with so you are now imagining things they might do that might be worthy of being mocked at some point in the future. How clever of you.

Ahh yes....the old "white GOP thugs contolling the polls in black neighborhoods where virtually every elected rep and election official is a Dem" story. That makes a ton of sense. Cause you know, white guys walking around in black neighborhoods are always intimidating the locals :unsure:

 

If I send you a dollar, will you buy yourself a clue?

Not going to happen. The likelyhood of the opposite is a very, very real.

 

The continuing "unstableness" of these politics, IMHO, is the real problem. We really need to "right this ship" politically one way or another IN A SENSIBLE MANNER.

 

Whoever gets in office, needs to make this their top priority... Everything else falls into place.

 

Terrorists will feed off this instability.

Not likely to happen, but I'm sure there will be a flip on the worthiness of the Electoral College by the Democrats.

But not from the Republicans, right Darin? There's no chance they would go to the Supremes again is there? :angry:

I don't think it's possible to run out of things to mock the left. The left is like a different carnival coming to town each day...always something new. :angry:
