Democrats can be persuaded to vote against the party interest, if they’re interested in keeping their floozie little jobs. Heath Shuler in NC is a prime example of this. Kissell, the complete neophyte who nearly defeated Hayes in the same election cycle, and did defeat him this go ‘round, is another. The wave of “populist” disgust that so many so-called “blue dog” Democrats rode to office in the past two years makes them vulnerable.
You think Inhofe might do it?
And maybe Tom Coburn, too.
Great!! thanks for the confirmation.. I’m the one that posted that email... the email wasn’t sent to me but I had a copy of it.
Coburn was co-sponsor of Senate Resolution 511. So, I don't think so.
Thanks! I couldn’t remember who it was and I’m a Freeping addict so I couldn’t scroll through 312 pages to find it, LOL!
Oh yeah, can you post the email you had? I can’t find it and I emailed him through the website, so I don’t have a copy of your email I sent to him.

You can thank John in advance here.
Congressman Price:
Just a few minutes ago I learned that Congressman John Linder planned to stand and object, when the electoral votes are counted, to Barack Hussein Obama until he provides proof that he qualifies to serve as President under Article II of the Constitution. Specifically, that he is a "natural born" citizen. Will you support Rep Linder and object also?
Ooops, that is obviously incorrect, doing to many things at once.
The language is silent as to whether the objection is to be made by a team from the state which is offering the electoral votes.

It is at this time that Federal officials in both the House and Senate may object to the certification of President-elect Obama by alleging that he fails to meet the Constitutional requirements to serve as President of the United States. Please be assured that I will continue to monitor this issue very carefully, and I will act when appropriate and necessary.”

Again, thank you for contacting me. If I can be of further assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to call on me.
Chambliss response: Thank you for contacting me regarding Senator Barack Obama's eligibility to become President. It is good to hear from you.
Article II of the Constitution states that in order to be President, a person must be a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and have resided in the U.S. for at least 14 years. Regardless of the citizenship status of the parents, any person born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen.
Senator Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961, which makes him a U.S. citizen and at age 46 he meets the minimum age requirement. He has also resided in the U.S. for at least 14 years. While I do not agree with many of Senator Obama's policy positions, he does meet the Constitutional requirements to be President of the United States .
~~Ping #15 .. thank you, via.
