I actually backed Allen West on his right to a recount. This is, after all, FloriDUH, and we don’t know how to count ballots here. If the situation were reversed, I would have demanded a recount on behalf of his opponent. So, after two judges denied his request, the St. Lucie County canvassing board decided a recount of all the early voting ballots was called for. And after the count, Patrick Murphy’s lead increased by 200 votes.
So, Mr. West, it’s time for you to leave. Now…
So much to talk about today.. we’ll unwind the Petreaus scandal (is it any of our business?) with Marcy Wheeler of Emptywheel, talk about the Middle East madness with Huffington Post’s Joshua Hersh, and why BP should get the corporate death penalty with Truthout’s Jason Leopold…
