And only one Senator with the strength and passion to be their voice in Senate today.

While I heartily applaude Senator Boxer - I can't help but wonder how it is that so many other Democratic Senators stood, made pretty speeches and then did not back Senator Boxer with their vote.

Over 57 MILLION voters and one lonely voice.....

To all the other democratic senators - shame on you. Shame on you for saying one thing and then doing another. Shame on you for not going on record for objecting to the electoral vote in Ohio.
57 million voters want you to not only talk the talk but walk the walk.

Thanks again Senator Boxer. So, while I am glad you stood up, it saddens me that your cohorts were not as brave as you. If I were a voter - in the future - my vote would not go to democrats...as it is clearly obvious - they do not fight for me.

1. Actually 2. Carl Levin voted Aye to the challenge. That qualifies him.

2. I heard he changed it to nay

But I could be mistaken.

4. Nope, he changed it to "nay". 1-74 result. n/t

5. The vote was 74 to 1. Therefore there were 25 Senators

absent today...24 plus our John Kerry who so many have tried to vilify today.

I think we've done a good job bringing this to fruition.

And CNN is now going to discuss this! Wow, finally!

3. You might want to check that.

CSPAN had an updated message saying Boxer was the only 'yea' vote.

6. Dude, it's actually 59,027,335 voters for Kerry 48.27%

but unfortunately Bush got 62,040,003. (50.73%)
