9. I see your point, Cali, but humbly disagree
It seems to me that Kerry is the wrong person to block certification of the election. He really is in a delicate position, more so than any of the other Senators. Also, it might not be good for the democratic party for him to contest the election like that, after conceding. I don't know, I am just speculating.

Jeffords, on the other hand, doesn't seem beholden to anyone (except his constituents, of course). But if he fears what might happen to Vermont if he stands up to *, if no one stands up to * and company for the sake of that type of fear, wouldn't the end result be just as bad for Vermont, indeed, the entire country?

I am feeling a bit melodramatic this morning, but I see this as an all or nothing fight. We win back our Democracy, or lose it forever. No middle ground.

I've been putting the pressure on my own Senators, Levin and Stabenow. I'm sure all the Senators have felt our heat. I hope to god that one of them stands with US.
