The Ohio Challenge

The Ohio challenge that is being put forth has made me reconsider whether or not I want Kerry in the White House..

The election is to be certified today, but Senator Kerry shows no real visible signs that he's eager to take on the Presidency:

"Underscoring that the outcome was not in doubt, Kerry, who conceded to Bush the day after the Nov. 2 election, said he would not join the challenge. The four-term Massachusetts senator was in the Middle East, thanking U.S. troops for their service.

In a statement, Kerry said there are "very troubling questions" about the Ohio voting and he would present a plan later to improve voting procedures. "

Now..

I don't like Bush - never hid that fact from anyone -- but if the guy you voted for is basically throwing in the towel and not fighting in what is right, then is this the guy we want to lead our nation??

*sighs*

I understand and support the "high road" that he wanted to take which was not going to put the nation in a strait jacket the public in another contested battle as what happened in 2000.. I understand that it paints him as a sore loser.. I understand that the Dems took a punch in the arm for what happened 4 years ago..

But at the very least he could've said "I'm concerned, and if there needs to be an investigation, the people of Ohio should lead it as they have been...."

But his tenor of what's been reported (and that may be the key here) is that he doesn't want it.. If this is the press' way of squeezing the last zit on this election so that everything can heal and move forward, then their portrayal of Kerry is assisting in that way..

It's frustrating as hell..
