Poll question: What senator(s) are going to have a backbone on January 6, 2005?

The Black Caucus is going to ask for one Senator to have a backbone and challenge the vote. Who will it be?

2. Feingold and Byrd would both get my bets....

[zulchzulu]

3. What do Byrd and Boxer have to lose?

Byrd is on his way out and could send a signal and a big middle finger to the little cowboy and Boxer will get re-elected in California anyway....plus both would be legendary heroes for democracy down the road...

If both do, each should get one of Kerry's vacation homes for sticking their necks out.

4. Clicked other as per NBC, there are at least 6 .

my guess is Boxer Byrd ,Wyden, Dayton, Feingold , Chaffee. Othere might be Cantwell and Murray.

8. Chaffee is GOP

That should be REALLY interesting if he does. That will keep it from being declared as a "purely partisan attempt".

[saracat]

10. Tee hee hee!

And how wonderful is that?;) :toast:

14. Cantwell would be very unlikely

She seems very much like a go get along kind of senator...and makes very little noise.

The others are more likely, but I'm really skeptical of Chafee saying anything.

13. Seriously

Byrd's retiring, so he doesn't need to worry about reelection, and Boxer was just reelected, so she's got six years before she has to worry about anything. She'll probably catch some hell for it now, but I'm sure she'll live it down by her next reelection campaign, and if people do finally realize the shear amount of bullshit that went on with the vote, it'll make her a hero.

5. Byrd has been fired up for almost 4 years.

And brilliantly so. I'm HOPING it's him.

But it's fun to pretend a dozen or twenty or so might stand up.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO EMAIL OR CALL YOUR SENATORS!

11. Isn't Cantwell vulnerable

She could have a target on her back come '06. She should play it safe and let Murray do it.

[Kurovski]

12. It doesn't hurt to ask.

I wrote to both of them. So now they know what I think they should do.

And since I still have an address in Illinois, Durbin too.

6. What do I tell my only child when I visit his grave?

If No Democrat Senator stands up, what can I say? What can I say to my only child?

[Kurovski]

7. You can say "We pissed it all away."

Not to break the drama, but that's what you could say.

Edit: I think you have an excellent email to your Senator in there, if you have not sent it off already.

[knight_of_the_star]

9. That would be REALLY good to say

Use it!

[DemGirl7]

15. My bets are on Byrd and Boxer...

I've grown to admire both over the past years...

[IronLionZion]

16. Boxer is challenging it right now on C-SPAN2

[zulchzulu]

17. Feingold said no?

Dude...spine...use it.

[Uzybone]
