111. I think she knows.
Edited on Thu Jan-13-05 09:49 PM by kerstin
I believe it was a strategic decision on the part of the Democrats as a whole to limit their objections to Ohio and (for the most part) to charges of brazen voter intimidation/vote suppression. I'm guessing they didn't want to play into the hands of the Republicans who were obviously poised to counter charges of widespread election fraud (and who, in their miscalculation, came off as the calloused, sophomoric bullies that they are).

Interesting that only one Republican senator rose to speak against the objection. Maybe they were afraid of being memorialized as assholes in Fahrenheit 9/11 II!
