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.

Olbermann played football? Between his ballet lessons?
Over here!
Do you think Olbermann is under the impression that we WANT him?
Paula Zahn is going down; I suspect he's next.
I'd love to email my two senators except they are Fineswine and Box o rocks
If Olbermann gets fired from MSNBC, where is there to go? Writing columns for Salon.com?
THIS is the opportunity we need to get EVERY congressman and Senator, Republican OR Democrat, angry enough about "vote fraud", real or imagined -- to get them on board to push for uniform voting requirements for FEDERAL offices nationwide, including photo ID and a signature affirming citizenship and voting only once -- with penalties for PERJURY AS WELL AS VOTING LAW VIOLATIONS. FAX / CALL / WRITE YOUR CONGRESSCRITTERS!!!
Don't start it too early, I won't be home til 10am and don't want to sift through a 1000 posts..LOL
I predict....this WILL go down.
These creatures really do want to DESTROY our country, don't they??
Let them know - there are MILLIONS of Combat Veterans who have sworn an oath to GOD to protect this country from ALL enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC!
Let that be their last warning!
I am convionced that this is all about keeping the black vote united and alienated. If we erode that monolith, they're done.
Dunno. Maybe where the vote fraud REALLY took place in Ohio. See THIS CHART OF OHIO VOTE TABULATIONS: can YOU find the REAL anomalies?
Tomorrow's going to be a television day in this house. The left just keep getting wackier and wackier.
How much you want to bet that every one of the "half dozen" house members that stands up with Conyers is a member of the Progressive Caucus? Dang I wish I was off work tomorrow - I'd love to see this live on CSPAN...
Lots of theories on what this is all about, but I can tell you one thing....I will never, ever vote for a rat again..I don't care who he/she is.
As they stand on the ledge I will be in the crowd below, gleefully yelling, "Jump you Pussies! Jump! Jump!"
Sour grapes, desperation, plus they know that if Bush is elected "cleanly" they won't have a cry-baby platform of "stolen election" to run on like in 2000.
They can't use issues, GW stole them all. They have nothing to run on or cry about so they have to be creative.
I swear the woman is evil incarnate.
The Republicans better be there tomorrow.
This won't pass muster......BUT ONLY IF THE REPUBLICANS GET THEIR BUTTS IN THE CHAIRS instead of skipping the day since it should be a formality.
Thank goodness we control congress. If they were in control, they would steal this election.
