Challengers are go (Keith Olbermann)
Challengers are go (Keith Olbermann)

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.

4. I'm afraid to get my hopes up............
I've been so down.
Randi Rhodes advocates forcing Junior Bush to be elected by the House. It would mean he was elected once by the Supreme Court and once by the Congress, but never by the people.:bounce:

6. Also another source about Boxer:
The Hill:
Quote...
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) is considering launching a challenge to Ohio’s electoral votes when the Senate meets tomorrow to certify the votes of the Electoral College.

7. This will shine the spotlight on disenfranchisement
....and VOTER SUPPRESSION, a successfully executed Karl Rove theme during the weecowboy elections. It will not change the outcome, but it is a fine, heavy, thick turd in their 'mandate' punch. Had all voters been able to vote, and all votes counted, the outcome could well have been different.

I am counting on some profound, deeply felt words from our crew the Senate floor. Even though the chimp can't put a sentence together, now, more than ever, we need some articulate leadership, if only to sharpen the difference between our vision of America and theirs.

15. I don't have the link because it isn't on the Internets
I got the info in a newsletter I get from England. But at Parascope.com you can read about other things. Umm... well, the tsunami story was just stupid, but the stuff I'm talking about is no joke.

18. I Also Had
Some stories revealed in a dream to me last night. But that doesn't make the information correct. If you can't back up your statement then I would question the the message and the messenger.

22. You can try the Guardian
But they haven't usually been too responsive to my e-mails. Palast will write back occasionally, but he is well negative most of the time towards my tips. I was the first one to write to him about the fact that they didn't find any plane pieces at the Pentagon, then 6 months later he is all over the BBC drooling about a 9/11 coverup.

16. This Is Surprising
surprising because I thought that Shrub was Israel's special friend. Have I been reading the wrong news sources all this time?

17. Friendship only goes so far....
Would Israel rather have Bush telling them they have to shake hands with Abbas, or have the west of Iraq all to themselves? A first and huge step to Greater Israel....

21. That made NO sense at all.
And you need links to back up your claims. No WorldNetDaily or NewsMax, either.

23. Did you listen to Randi's show today?
She pointed out that the house of reps will have the responsibility of voting for pres if at least one dem senator challenges the electoral college slate. The house is dominated by repugs and will go for Bush. But, Bush won't have been elected by the people. he will have been selected twice in a row. What an asshat he is.

Yes, he will still be president, but it force a debate about the election. The MSM will have to cover it.
