Ohio Forever

Sphere: Related Content

The Dems are still on the Ohio was stolen bandwagon even after possible chance Kerry had has been explored and debunked. Don't tell Barbara Boxer, Barbara Lee, John Conyers or the rest of the minority party:

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) is considering launching a challenge to Ohio’s electoral votes when the Senate meets tomorrow to certify the votes of the Electoral College. The challenge -- should Boxer decide to offer it -- would force a debate in the House and Senate over whether President Bush’s electoral victory will stand. Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) is planning to issue a challenge in the House. Conyers and 23 other House members today outlined their reasons for opposing the certification of Ohio’s electors, claiming there were “numerous, serious election irregularities” in Ohio. Bush carried Ohio by more than 100,000 votes. The state handed him an Electoral College victory over Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass).Meanwhile, Rev. Jesse Jackson made an 11th hour appeal today to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), urging him to object to the Ohio vote.

It appears as though it's going down in flames with only Boxer voting in the affirmative in the Senate. Maybe Boxer should force a recount! Several other things about this stick out; Jesse Jackson is appealing to Harry Reid and Reid seems to be listening. Great news for Republicans, just like Markos (screw 'em) Zuniga, Jackson has the anti-Midas touch; everything he backs loses.

One of the things I miss about living in California is the chance to vote against Boxer every six years, she still wins but it always feels good to hit the Republican tab.

Update: Lorraine has more.
