Bush's Victory Not in Jeopardy? |
|
This is what I woke up to this morning, reports on Boxer's objection, but this phrase repeated over and over. I wonder what the chances are of objections to New Mexico, Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and other states with alleged fraud? What I'd like to see is the biggest snowball start rolling this afternoon, wouldn't you?

1. Bush's presidency is not in jeopardy. |
|
Even if there were objections to the electors of EVERY state his presidency would not be in jeopardy. The Republicans control both the Senate and the House, that's where the decision will be made.

My understanding is that this kind of vote is not eligible for it

The seperate sessions to discuss the challenge can only last two hours and each legislator is only allowed to talk for 5 minutes...so I figure the house session will last one hour(twenty reps times five minutes) and the Senate session will last 5 minutes(1 Senator times 5)...at the end of that time the majority of each house(the repugs) will vote * in.

4. I doubt you'll see any other objections. |

The Democrats aren't going to object on other states and the Republicans think everything is just fine. They would only object to the blue states and if they did they would risk a meltdown. That could possibly throw the election into the congress where anything could happen. The Bush's would call in a bomb threat if it looked like that would happen.

7. As I have been calling members of Congress |
|
I have mentioned that it is not just OH and since I live and voted in Florida I have asked them to investigate Florida too. I just called Pelosi's office and told her I believe that OH, FL and NM were stolen as was in FL in 2000 and I'm sick of it and glad someone is standing up.

9. Why no other objections |
|
Why won't NM, Fla, Pa(which went for Kerry) and Tn be objected?
Conyers didn't do investigations and release a report on those states....that's the only reason Boxer has the cajones to stand up in the Senate....something looking like a real investigation exists on Ohio.
