1.) David Cobb and Michael Badnarik STILL have an ongoing suit in Toledo OH Federal Court, Cobb v. Blackwell, regarding the flawed recount they got in 2004. Kerry/Edwards campaign had filed papers in the case supporting the the Greens and Libertarians in the case.

2.) While obviously this suit isn't going to change the election results, the hope is that it might preserve any evidence that is still left, and most importantly, set a precedence in case law to help keep this from happening again in future recounts.

3.) Word is that that the Kerry/Edwards Campaign is preparing to withdraw from the Cobb v. Blackwell case, effective the end of this month! This would have a devastating effect on ANY chance the case might have of success, as per #2.

Now -- THIS IS URGENT -- Contact the Democratic Party and John Kerry and John Edwards; put pressure on and tell them DO NOT DROP OUT of Cobb v. Blackwell !!!! DON'T LET THEM DO THIS; don't let them cave in AGAIN.

Don't let Kerry/Edwards hand Blackwell ANOTHER free pass!

Time is short... Please BLAST THIS to everyone you know, please, and KEEP KICKED. :grr:

3. Maybe you could post this in the 2004 Election Forum, or elsewhere

This is really important, but your post could get lost in the Ohio forum. It might motivate people too, if you could provide something to substantiate the possibility that Kerry/Edwards is pulling out.

4. Check the DU discussion...

This is already on DU. I was just posting this here, "trickling down" to the OH DU forum, in case anybody missed it.

5. Perhaps the 2 Johns want to remain "viable" for another presidential race

That's my theory, anyway.
