Kerry Chides Bush for Declining NAACP Invitation (Update1)
I thought this was interesting. Kerry on Florida vote.

<snip>
Florida Vote
``We're not just sitting around waiting for that to happen,'' Kerry said. ``My campaign is already hiring lawyers, hiring election experts, and we're prepared to challenge anyone being denied the right to vote.''

3. Bush miscalculated by not attending.
While it is true he probably would not get the African American vote and he used this snub to shore up a small part of his base. The unintended consequence is he has lit a fire under moderates and minorities who were on the fence or were not going to vote.

4. We ALL know WHY Ted Olson resigned! And James Baker did too?
Because they are ALREADY assembling their legal team for the fight. They KNOW that Bush will not win the popular vote (AGAIN), and will have to duke it out in court to challenge ever fucking electoral vote. Trust me on this... they've been working for 3 years on strategy. The Palm Beach Riots were nothing... expect technical challenges in every swing state.. and MORE disenfranchised voters.

5. I see where Rod Paige defended the bushit
while he is a life long member of NAACP~ There's no excuse for that!

I like this part..
"I will be a president who is truly a uniter, not one who seeks to divide one nation by race or riches or by any other label,'' Kerry, 60, a four-term Massachusetts senator told the nation's biggest civil rights group's Philadelphia convention. ``The president may be too busy to speak to you now, but I got news for you. He's going to have plenty of time after Nov. 2"

6. NPR (Neocon Public Relations) reported Kerry's position as a "political
attack on the President."
