#1 Minor road bumb that should delay the vote by 30 seconds if Boxer actually follows through. Once the "Debate" goes to the separate houses it will be over. I would be surprised if the House/Senate leaders didn't have plans in place for this kind of nonsense.

#2 Perhaps the Republicans should scrounge up a "special" review committee for Pennsylvania (a closer vote) and for the outright fraud circus that is the Washington State governor race.

#4 Oh, good, Jesse weighs in too!
A little louder, Jesse please? I can't hear you too good from way back there in the oblivian line.

#6 Our own Babsey, certifiably a whacko.

Kerry won comfortably, Babsey by a bigger margin here in Leftyland-by-the-sea.

All you lurking trolls who voted properly for the "W" and then had a brain cloud when you split your ticket, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET!

Enjoy the waste of time let Babsey expell some flatulance, and then get it over with.

Seafarious : Ms. I. may be correct, but it is annoying, and the objectors look like idiots.

Consider the what-if scenario in 2000.

If Florida was objected to by BOTH a House member and a Senator. All I saw was members of the Congressional Black Caucus led my Mad Maxine Waters bloviating. No Senator joining in the objection.

The senate was split 50-50 until jumpin Jim jumped. SO, The house votes Bush, the senate is tied. Since Algore was still VP, and Pres of the Seante for two weeks, he votes to reject the Florida VP votes, and Colleague Lieberman becomes VP. Unless Lieberman was too embarassed under the circumstances, and did the right thing.

Eerie...

#10 Can the New York state votes be counted for Kerry since they were certified for John L. Kerry? I wonder what the legal ramifications of this are. If Kerry can't legally get the votes from New York, what's the deal on Ohio?

#11 Actually, BigEd, I think Congress has to agree on the electoral slate. So, if the House says the GOP slate is right and the Senate says the Dem slate is right, that doesn't mean a Bush/Lieberman administration.

I think if Congress doesn't agree, the result is returned to the state and the Governor (aka Bush's brother) decides which set is correct.

#12 You are correct Jackal, but I was just brainstorming.

A congresswoman from Michigan named Miller who was the ex-SOS of MI said part of the complaint filed suggested that Carl Rove had a secret computer in the basement of the White House and was hacking into the Ohio voting machines to change votes.

Lemee see hack to change votes to a 118,000 majority for "W". This means Rove had to change 59,000 votes AT LEAST!

Some years ago a Christmas comic strip of "Peanuts", by Charles M Schulz, had Linus getting an explanation of Santa Claus' task on Christmas eve to deliver gifts to millions of little boys & girls around the world in one night.

Linus said, "Gee, he must be highly skilled".

Now we all know who Karl Rove trained with!

#17 Seafarious, thanks loads for checking the DU filth, so that we don't have to. Now go take a long, hot shower!

#18 All is well the yapping dogs are silenced and the vote was certified by both houses. I wrote an especially seething email Babs. I told her the 'sore loser' had become synonymous with 'Democrat'. I doubt her staff will show it to her or if she can understand the word 'synonymous'. Big Ed, is it too early to talk recall of this idiot in the Senate? I am willing to open my wallet for that purpose.

#19 Oh, yeah, its HAIL HILLARY - unless the various International Rogues crisies are resolved, I strongly believe Hillary will be at best a VPOTUS candidate in 2008! Rest assured the Commie Betty Crocker-crats will do their best to ensure JEB BUSH serves only one term ala the BUSH FAMILY CURSE. Hillary's next and likely last window to be POTUS will be 2012/2014, where she will run for POTUS but with a woman VPOTUS, her and the Failed Left still doing their best to disguise anti-US Communism as pro-America or Saving America Liberalism!? As for Kerry, IRAN-SYRIA-NORTH KOREA, etal. are still out there, as is the Clintons' "THIRD WAY", aka THIRD-PARTY/TERTIARY ALIBISTS, which could be anyone or any scenario or event(s) from anti-Dubya "LONE NUT" ASSASSINS and MISC. CRAZIES TO LEGAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO ALLEGED BUSH/BUSH-CHENEY-GOP "CRIMES" AGAINST AMERICA, ANY ANDOR EACH, ONE ANDOR ALL! THe DemsLeft is promo itself as the Party of Propriety, Prudence, and Protection, where Regulation, Big Government, and Global Govt., etc. has a well-meaning and "justified" puprose or utility. You can tell because the anti-American and anti-GOP-Right, but PC, HISTORY CHANNEL, this week is exploring the need and dev of OSHA, i.e. Regulation is good for babies, old Yeller, the USMC and apple pie!?
