From the morons at crooksandliars:
On page 344, Woodward describes the doings at the White House in the early morning hours of Wednesday, the day after the ‘04 election.
Apparently, Kerry had decided not to concede. There were 250,000 outstanding ballots in Ohio.
So Kerry decides to fight. In fact, he considers going to Ohio to camp out with his voters until there is a recount. This is the last thing the White House needs, especially after Florida 2000.
So what happened?
James Carville gets on the phone with his wife, Mary Matalin, who is at the White House with Bush.
“Carville told her he had some inside news. The Kerry campaign was going to challenge the provisional ballots in Ohio  perhaps up to 250,000 of them. ‘I don’t agree with it, Carville said. I’m just telling you that’s what they’re talking about.’
“Matalin went to Cheney to report…You better tell the President Cheney told her.”
Matalin does, advising Bush that “somebody in authority needed to get in touch with J. Kenneth Blackwell, the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio who would be in charge of any challenge to the provisional votes.” An SOS goes out to Blackwell.
The rest is history.
I always knew Carville was a piece of shit.
I could have killed ‘em all, I could kill Carville. With the DNC, he’s the law, out here in the blogosphere it’s me. Don’t push it. Don’t push it or I’ll give them a war they won’t believe. Let it go. Let it go.
so they’re digging this up again cause they’re bored, or what?
Cheney actually told Matalin to call Diebold, which was managing the whole fraud in Ohio, blah, blah, blah.
That actually makes more sense than the idea that Kerry called off a challenge because the Sec of State found out about it.
– They can only call him poopey-head, and threaten to fall down and kick and scream, just so much. They’re running out of red meat at the bottom of their chum bucket. Agood portion of the Moony-Loons probably didn’t know MataLin and Carvel are married.
– The hard left, with Kos and Hampsher leading the pack, are gathering in front of castle Demo-Drac with pitchforks and torches, now that they realize they’ve been….they’ve been
LIEBERMAN’D!!!!
Ohio… again with Ohio.
What was the vote margin in Pennsylvania? I could have sworn it was smaller than it was in Ohio.
