What I understood Cahill to be saying (via Cameron on FNC) was not that there were 250,000 provisional ballots; the OH sec-of-state earlier said there were something like 130,000 of those. Rather, Cahill was saying that the remaining 8-10% of the precincts not yet in constituted 250,000 votes, and that they believe those votes will break heavily for Kerry, and thus make up the difference. So it's not (yet) an attempt at fraud, or lying about provisional ballots; it's just a desperate attempt to hold off the inevitable until it is ex post facto.
Is this the same John B. Thompson who reports for NewsMax? That John B. Thompson weighed in on Boies' lawyerly blarney in 2000 here. He took Elian Gonzalez' "lawyer" to task here.
And I suspect he's the same one quoted in this CNSNews article, explaining that a web site advocating the death of a number of public figures (including Pres. Reagan) was violating federal law.
It is a little hard to figure why he thinks Drudge is somehow culpable for reporting what the Guardian printed, but then perhaps I don't understand Section 18, either.
Maybe Fox thinks (as I do) that the more people have to hear his patronizing, droning voice, and watch his sanctimonious, phony attempts at facial expressions, the less they'll like him.
Me, I think he should be on 24x7 until election day. Then W could carry all 50 states. :)
