23. Exactly, I was upset by the lack of "yay" votes at first until I got
thinking about it. Then I heard a quote from Sen Boxer. She said basically they only needed one person to sign to get it into the discussion phase.

Everyone stuck to the "this is not about who won....this is about people being denied their right to vote...we are duty bound to speak for the people we represent" the Republicans were prepared for a "Bush did not win, conspiracy, fraud" attack from us and did not get it. That was reflected in their speech's, they sounded silly attacking thing that our Reps never even verbalized!

The other thing that hit me in the face was, "THANK GOD KERRY WAS IN IRAQ". The Repubs would have twisted the whole thing by pointing at him, they were foaming at the mouth! Instead all they were left with was a ghost, they couldn't attack that.

As I contemplated the whole thing I concluded that Kerry and our Reps/Senators played it well. Any that actually got up and spoke need to be supported..IMO.
