Ken Blackwell on why Bush won the election
I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but the following fundraising letter from Ken Blackwell is posted on the website of the Hon. John Conyers, Jr: http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/blackwellfundraisingltr.pdf

Bush won "on the belief that it was statistically improbable for Senator Kerry to recover"

So does this mean that the election was based on a "belief" that it was "improbable" for Kerry to have won?


Some other Selective quotes from Blackwell:

- Kerry is an "unapologetic liberal Democrat"

- Kerry victory "would have been a horrible outcome for the families and taxpayers of America"

1. Why Ken Blackwell is a MFer.
-Blackwell is an unapologetic bushbot.

-Blackwell is an unapologetic rightwingnut.

-bush's victory will mean more deaths, more misery, more suffering, more poverty-stricken Americans, and will increase the horrible outcome for the families and taxpayers of America.

2. He wants to be governor now?
LOL! (sorry for laughing, but did you read the whole begging letter??) Why, because he did such a good job during the presidential campaign?

Unfortunately, he could actually have a shot without a solid campaign by Democrats.

5. Of course they're selective
But not taken out of context. The whole letter is there to read. The main point was his explanation of the election results, which I found unsatisfactory. I just threw in a few more quotes as examples.
