I think I have just figured out where Kucinich has been on the recount
Someone reposted an old article on one of my other lists

http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/111904Y.shtml

Don McTigue, a Columbus lawyer who filed the lawsuit for the Ohio Democratic Party, said the Democrats have concerns that different standards are being applied from county to county.

Mr. McTigue recently wore another hat, that of treasurer for the Kucinich presidential campaign. Can you say real or perceived conflict of interest? I know for a fact that the Kucinich.us website ownership is still not settled, so the FEC probably has not finished its business with Dennis. Until then, he is probably not going to be saying anything except in a very general and non-specific way.

1. I'm not sure why this would require KUCINICH to be qiuet
His lawyer is one thing, but he is free to say whatever he wants.

2. His campaign lawyer may have to be the judge of that--
--nonetheless, he signed the request to the Senate.

http://rawstory.rawprint.com/105/final_plea_105.php

Twenty-four members from the House signed a letter issued to the full House and Senate this afternoon in a last-minute bid to encourage the Senate to open discussion on the electoral vote tally Thursday, RAW STORY has learned.

The members signing were: John Conyers, Jr, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, Jesse Jackson, Jr., Jim McDermott, Maxine Waters, Lynn Woolsey, Bernard Sanders, Eleanor H. Norton, Sam Farr, Chaka Fattah, Donald Payne, Anthony Weiner, Diane Watson, Barbara Lee, Elijah Cummings, Robert Wexler, Juanita Millender-McDonald, José E. Serrano, Major Owens, Danny K. Davis, Dennis J. Kucinich, Sheila Jackson Lee, William Clay, Jr. and Barney Frank.

Rep. Frank's signature was not included in this release because he signed it after it had been scanned.

3. McTigue is Kerry's lawyer (too?)
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 03:08 AM by Senator
But he could be working for the local Dems as well.

It would explain why one of the recount observer reports mention that someone called Mr. McTigue about something.

Raised my eyebrows at the time, but I don't think it's that odd.

4. McTique also worked to prevent Issue 1 from being on the ballot
by suing over the petitions
