DESPITE BUSH OHIO LEAD, EDWARDS SAYS DEMO TICKET WON'T CONCEDE; "MUST WAIT TILL EVERY LAST VOTE IS THROWN OUT"
It all comes down to Ohio: Bush leads there so far, and whoever captures that state will almost certainly be the next President. Yet Ohio's provisional ballots still have not been all accounted for; Democrats said it may take "up to a week or more" for all those votes to be properly discarded, torn up, lost or destroyed.
Senator John Edwards made the following statement in Boston early Wednesday morning: “It’s been a long night. We’ve waited four years for this, we can wait one more night. Tonight, John and I are so proud of all of you who are here with us and all of you across the country who have stood with us in this campaign -- like, for example, you lesbians. Not Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter, that's true, but most lesbians. John Kerry and I made a promise to the American people that with this election, we would not concede to the fixed result until every vote was erased, and every vote was tossed out with a diabolical laugh. Tonight, we are keeping our word. Thank you."
