Challengers are go (Keith Olbermann says at least 6 senators will challenge Ohio's Electoral Votes)

Sick Bed, New York— Nothing is in writing and daybreak is a long way away, but it appeared all but certain in early evening Wednesday that House Democrats had secured the support of up to half a dozen Senators to formally challenge the Electoral College slate from Ohio, when the votes are opened before a joint session of Congress tomorrow.

Congressional sources tell this reporter that the house half of the written objection — which has the declared support of more than a dozen Representatives — is expected to be signed by Representative Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Ohio. Republican leadership expects the Senate signatory to be Barbara Boxer of California, but this has not yet been formalized. The Majority is also worried about the possible absence of many of its members in both houses, and the prospect that a quorum might not be achieved, leading the process into uncharted, albeit not very threatening, constitutional grounds. There is a mathematical, if not practical, chance that the ratification of the Electoral College vote could be delayed past tomorrow.

Term limit for both the house and senate is looking better all the time.

The best term limit is to vote the b_astards out.

Vote Fraud!!!!!

Look at those Reagan Numbers!!!! Awesome

Lee Greenwood singing "Proud to be an American" and tears in my eyes. I miss that MAN and I miss the Military, I wish I could go back and do it all over.

OK Maybe I'm too dense, but I still don't think the rehashing of the minutia is the objective of Ms Boxer, what do you see that I am too lazy to figure out?

I just got home from work! I can't believe the RATS are actually going to try this! Didn't the black caucus try something wacky like this last time in 2000 and they were basically ignored? What idiots! Like our government doesnt have better things to do? Does anybody know what time it will be in c-span? If Boxer joins in with this nonsense she's finished!

Would someone tell Keith Olbermann to breath into a paper bag.

Keith, if your listening, there will be one of three outcomes for the Rats' if they poop in their nest.

One, America will collectively...yawn. Two, America will know what real Losers really look and sound like. And three, Keith, maybe the Rat crazies will be provoked enough by you to start a civil war.

May as well get it over with now, don't ya think, Keith?

I hope so. On the other hand, if it doesn't happen, we'll have the consolation of seeing Keith Olbermann look like even more of an ass than usual.

So you're saying it's a win/win? I like our chances!

In the chart at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1309927/posts?page=26#26 ?

The fact that there's NOTHING that stands out as a bizarre increase in GOP Presidential votes or vote percentages in ANY of the 88 Ohio Counties.

I would submit that there MIGHT BE vote fraud with a bizarre increase in BOTH 'RAT votes AND 'RAT voting percentages in Cuyahoga County, however.

Is there any really plausible theory of why they are doing this?

In both the House and the Senate, the Democrats have made arrangements for the votes to be counted by the King County (WA) Board of Elections.

I'd like to know WHY the Democrats in Congress are going to do these acts of

They really want to find out what it's like to get beaten to a pulp in the 2006 Congressional elections, don't they?

Well, wasn't it you who had asked, "Is there any really plausible theory of why they are doing this?" ?

If not, my apologies.

My thought was they wanted to draw attention AWAY from Cuyahoga County by screaming about the touch-screen machines and stuff in OTHER counties. Just a thought.

Anyway, it sure is good to have the REAL vote totals. It's kind of like having a scorecard handy when the games start tomorrow, right?
