Jesse and John

Posted by Moonage on 20 Oct 2004 | Tagged as: 2004 Presidential Election

The Rev. Jesse Jackson warned Tuesday that if the November election ends in controversy, Democrats will fight back much more fiercely than they did after the 2000 election.

Jackson’s remarks before a meeting of the Commonwealth Club of California at San Francisco’s Herbst Theatre reflect a readiness by Democrats to start a legal ground war over perceived voter irregularities. He recently joined the presidential campaign of Sen. John Kerry as a senior adviser.

“If it’s reasonably close, we’re headed toward a battle like we’ve never seen before,” Jackson said. “But this time around we must not be passive in the face of it.”

About the exact same time:

Republicans ripped into John Kerry yesterday over a stunning new internal manual that advises Democrats to launch “pre-emptive” strikes charging the GOP with voter intimidation even if none exists.

The “Election Day Manual” written for Kerry’s Colorado campaign workers includes a menu of options Democrats can follow next month to claim Republican intimidation, ranging from issuing press releases to organizing minority leaders to denounce the practice.

Coincedence?

I don’t think so.

Does this sound like a “uniter, not a divider”?
