A Hamletian recount: "To recuse or not to recuse: that is the question."

Phase 2 continues with the left's demand that Ohio SOS Blackwell recuse himself from the recount case in order to prevent any malfeasance, bias, or dishonesty from entering into the recount process.

The left fringe groups gather more mainstream support from Common Cause and the Daily Kos.

The generally even-handed Ralph Nader (left leaner) seemed to become a bit unhinged with his demand that Blackwell resign in disgrace because he had committed a "constitutional crime."

Even the University of New Mexico has offered its implicit, silent-partner support of the recount effort. hence a higher-learning institution has instead become an advocacy group.

Some right leaning bloggers are engaging in a counter-recusing action. They want you to e-mail your support to J. Kenneth Blackwell.

This is utter maddness and the left refuses to get it. Having been twice defeated at the ballot box, the left pauses, regroups, and moves further left. They should stop now while they are ahead and move to the right. Keep fighting for Mr. Blackwell.
