MSNBC Reports: Up to 6 other Sentors may join Barbara Boxer in contesting the election.

Posted on 01/06/2005 7:20:07 AM PST by Next_Time_NJ

MSNBC is now reporting that up to 6 other senators (1 possible republican) will give statements of support for contesting the election. There were no names given. Barbara Boxer is confirmed to be the only senator on record to say she is now going to contest the election along with Conyers and a few others from congress.

The report went on to say that the debate (if all 6 come on board) will only be about 30 minutes, due to the 5 minute rule per senator. The report also said that Bush's victory his not in jepordy.

I still think the media may eat crow on this but anyone have any thoughts?

Two others come to mind beside Chaffee -- McCain and Snowe.

Leahy is working hard to get a soundbite for the 6 o'clock news by asking assinine questions/irrelevant hypotheticals.

One Republican?

Could it be the "Japanese Ace" One of few American pilots to have lost 5 A/C in training and combat, and become a pilot and USNA graduate only because his father and grandfather were both Admirals?

Could it be John "I'm not really as crazy as I look, I think" McCain?

Frist actually said he wouldn't go nuclear if they "cooperated".

So far it doesn't look like they're in a cooperating mood.

Here is the Washington Post story from a few minutes ago:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A52882-2005Jan6.html

Only mentions Boxer. I think MSNBC info is from Keith Olberman who wrote that he had been making calls himself last night.

Anybody who claim his favorite quote is by Jon Stewart is not somebody I want to be liked by anyway.

Frist went to the disaster site. I can't believe he is absent today.

Oh please, I hope they do.

Get it all on videotape!!!!

Remember how powerful the Kerry "I voted for the 87 Billion before I voted against it" comment was, especially since it was in his own words, on TV!!!

McCain .. Nope

Snowe .. possible, but I doubt it

IF this is true ... more likely it's Chaffee

If a republican signs on to this he/she needs to be shunned and removed from any committee and a recall started in their home state.

And a little quarter mile walk from their office to their parking assignment wouldn't hurt either.

I can't believe that the Democrats are this stupid.
They're not Democrats. At best they're Socialists and more accurately - Marxists.
They would like nothing better than to totally destabilize our election process.

if you are conservative, there isnt anything offensive by not being a Republican or even a Democrat of the Zell Miller ilk.

You see, it isnt logical for McCain to do this. He would alienate the very people he is going to suck up too for the next 4 years, i.e. the Bush supporters.....

January 6th is the Feast of the Epiphany. Because some believers open presents today it is known as Little Christmas since the Magi brought the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the Christ Child on this day.

Right. An earlier visit would have been better. Of course, it's a GOOD thing that Kerry isn't present. (When has he ever been in the past year and a half? Yet collected his salary anyway....I'm angry that other Senators allowed him to get away w/this unlawful act.)

Any Republican to challenge Bush should be appointed Ambassador to Iraq, with an office in Fallujah.

I don't believe this "report" for a second.

I am predicting "blowback".

This is going to make more folks mad as hell....with many of these particular senators re-election is in jeopardy.

THEY SHOULD 'REMEMBER TOM dASHOLE''!!!

I wish Bush would pull a 'toon and show them there FBI files. Except President Bush is way too honorable to stoop that low.
