1. About the same as the Buffalo Bills winning the Super Bowl
Crooks...

Most of them are beholden to the monkey, and they don't want to piss him off.

20. I have this feeling in my bones that tomorrow will bring a big surprise!
We just might see 40 or more senators rise up after Conyers sets the stage. There is great safety in numbers.

I know for almost certain that Bill Nelson of FL (my senator) would NEVER stick his neck out for this without someone (someone with power) telling him to. He's a pansy. He votes along party lines, but that's about it. He never even responds with a form letter when I write to him.

Whole lot different than Representative (Robert Wexler). Now, Wexler... he's got cojones!!!

EDITED: Cause I forgot how to spell someone...

3. We only need one,
but the more the merrier. I have seen "half a dozen" floating around in quite a few places.

4. Maybe about the same
as the odds of Bob Novakula confessing to the outing of Valerie Plame
or George Wanker Bush winning the Nobel Prize for physics.

5. That would be fun...
Then we'll have them all on record as being in favor of vote fraud and disenfranchisement, except for those who vote for Kerry, of course. Oh, this could be a LOT of fun.

14. Is that why I agree with you?
cuz I watch too many movies???

Hey! Maybe the Dem Senators watch alot of movies too!

There's a tipping point... at first it's hard but after a certain point, the rest comes easy. You know? I could see it happening.

30. On 2nd thought, you're right. But still the idea of a wave
of Senators all standing appealed to me.
I didn't associate the suffering. Mea culpa

18. Good thinking...
and yes...all that would be grand, indeed. I wish our Senators had the cajones to all stand and refuse to certify this sham of an election result. I'm not sure they all do...but some very well may.
*fingers crossed*

22. THAT would be the perfect way to handle the challenge.
There's power in numbers and the repukes couldn't go on the attack against EVERY Dem. They would look FOOLISH. IMCPO With that being said, I doubt they all stand up. It would do my heart good to see that happen. If it does, I'll be shocked.

23. ZERO
If the candidate himself can't be bothered by it there's no way 44 senators are going to be concerned!!!

28. maybe we should concentrate our prayers on just one?
Besides - as Kerry pointed out in his email to us today. Objecting would not change the outcome of the election. Legislation and constant pressure for days, weeks, months, years will!

So get those phone calls made that he asked us to make. Thats the biggest thing at this point we can do - Let Kerry know we're behind him and let Republicans in Congress know we're pissed.
