Keith Olbermann got Kerry’s lawyer to clarify his statement from last week.
He practically said “I take it all back. The new information doesn’t change anything. We still give up.”
Daniel Hoffheimer to Keith Olbermann:
“I would caution the media not to read more into what the Kerry-Edwards campaign has said,” Mr. Hoffheimer advised us by e-mail, “than what you hear in the plain meaning of our comments. There are many conspiracy theorists opining these days. There are many allegations of fraud. But this presidential election is over. The Bush-Cheney ticket has won. The Kerry-Edwards campaign has found no conspiracy and no fraud in Ohio, though there have been many irregularities that cry out to be fixed for future elections. Senator Kerry and we in Ohio intend to fix them. When all of the problems in Ohio are added together, however bad they are, they do not add up to a victory for Kerry-Edwards. Senator Kerry’s fully-informed and extremely careful assessment the day after the election and before he conceded remains accurate today, notwithstanding all the details we have since learned.”
Ug. What does it all mean?
Well I’m still going to finish up my little report and post it tomorrow.
This election will be challenged on January 6th with or without John Kerry.
Although.. I guess I was getting hopeful that Kerry might actually come through in the end. (Like Spiderman! And he had this great plan, see? All along. And he was just waiting for the timing to be just right, so he could spring into action…[echo and fade] in action….action…. )
Anyway, glad I snapped out of my fantasy long enough to go check out what happened in the real world today and read Keith Olbermann’s blog.
I’m taping his show from tonight right now, and then I’ll put it right up.

Conspiracies theorized, or conspiracies invoked?
