Kucinich's Recount: Pointless Yet Important

I'm quite certain that Kucinich's recount in New Hampshire will verify the results of the primary. Nevertheless, I'm still quite happy that Kucinich is doing it.
But first, I think we need to look at some funny numbers.
Clinton Optical scan: 91,717 52.95%
Obama Optical scan: 81,495 47.05%
Clinton Hand-counted: 20,889 47.05%
Obama Hand-counted: 23,509 52.95%

Right now, a lot of people like me want the government to expand their services. For example we want universal healthcare.
But there are also a lot of people who would like to pay less in taxes. Or at the very least, do not want any more taxes.
Meanwhile, the representatives both of these groups have elected give neither groups what they want.
Perhaps our group and their group should get together. We just can't be afraid to cut agency budgets. Or be afraid to cut Defense spending.
We'll get healthcare and other services. They'll get a balanced budget and tax cuts.
And our representatives will actually have done something for us. And we'll all be a little happier and a little less divided.
