You know, Jesse Jackson is just trying to stir up a hornet's nest.
And what I've told people today is that Elvis is dead, and I'm not gonna fret over Jesse Jackson's misinformation and confusion.
Even though the cost to the taxpayers far exceeds the $120,000 dollars that it will cost the two candidates to ask for one to this count.
Like I said, we had 45,000 square miles of geography, 88 counties, board of elections, 50,000 folks that ran a great election on election day.
The president wouldn't have carried Ohio if the issue (to ban same-sex marriage) hadn't been on the ballot driving out the base, ... not going to evaporate, they're not going to retreat, and they will be a real and influential and sustainable force.

They know, the courts know, the people know that they have no way of changing the results as it affects them.
