So what's your prediction on the vote?

433-2?

Or will it be a bigger margin than that?

We might lose a congressman but we might gain a talk show host. If you watched Trafficant on Connie Chung last night you would know what I mean. He basically took over her show and actually made it INTERESTING for a change.

The 2 would be Condit and Frank? This will have to be the most hypocritical vote I've ever witnessed.

[Howlin]

I think they'll bring people in off the streets to vote against him.

Or will it be a bigger margin than that?

Nah, it's not going to be as lopsided as 433-2. At the very least, all the Ohio Congressmen in districts surrounding Traficant's will vote against explusion, because even today the citizens in his district overwhelmingly support Racoonhead and think he's been railroaded, and their hatred of Congress has gone through the roof.

He still has no chance of winning this vote, though.

433-2?

Will Traficant vote on his own explusion as his last vote on the floor of the House? And will all 435 members be there? It'd take (grabbing the calculator and multiplying 435 x .67) 291 votes to expul (if I'm wrong, I readily accept corrections).

This is a mess,it is like the movies when the Mafia brings one of theirs in to execute him.

[Political Junkie Too]

So what's your prediction on the vote?

The Machiavelli in me wouldn't mind seeing the Republicans vote to keep Traficant in the House. If the Democrats are playing politics to keep Bush's qualified judicial appointees from receiving hearings, why can the Republicans play politics and keep Traficant in the House to further embarrass the Democrats?

Wouldn't it be something to see the vote go down party lines?
