What if?

My feelings exactly.

Another Democratic senator running for president, Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, said: “My initial reaction to Senator Kerry’s decision is one of extreme sadness. John Kerry is a major voice in American politics, and the country would be much better off today if he were president.”

And why isn't this getting more attention?

Two election workers were convicted of rigging a recount of the 2004 presidential election to avoid a more thorough review. The workers — Jacqueline Maiden, elections coordinator of the Cuyahoga County Elections Board, and Kathleen Dreamer, a ballot manager — were each convicted of a felony count of negligent misconduct of an elections employee. They were also convicted of one misdemeanor count each of failure of elections employees to perform their duty. Prosecutors accused Ms. Maiden and Ms. Dreamer of secretly reviewing selected ballots before a public recount on Dec. 16.

But nevermind all that. Ray guns!
