"Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., signed a challenge mounted by House Democrats to Ohio's 20 electoral votes, which put Bush over the top. By law, a challenge signed by members of the House and Senate requires both chambers to meet separately for up to two hours to consider it. Lawmakers are allowed to speak for no more than five minutes each."

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. I look forward to seeing those meetings, but the odds of getting the GOPer

folk to help overturn Ohio is minimal.

9. BOXER ROX!

[Ravenseye]

12. Sadly No

All it does is make them have to discuss it, they'll discuss it, table it, accept the votes, and be done with it.

Doubt it gets much media play at all.

20. You are correct, but what a gutsy symbolic move! n/t

16. most of those are safe seats, and i will help out any of those who have

tough races and need help regardless of what they do today.

[marcologico]

17. NO seats are safe until we get rid of the election-stealing machines

Sad but true. Look at Daschle.

[knight_of_the_star]

18. HUZZAH!!!

Proud to have her as my senator!!!

[jswordy]

19. Well, I was wrong. Pretty amazing. Good for her! n/t

[bvar22]

21. Repiggies are calling it...

The BOXER REBELLION


Go BABS!!!!

[mtnsnake]

22. Unless a lot more senators jump on her bandwagon

it's just a small symbolic move by a gutsy lady who's doing what she knows is right.

All the Dem senators are always pleading for us to get out and vote. Well now it's their turn. If they really want to make a difference, each and every Democratic senator should stand up and be noticed. Make a real statement. Set an example.

[DistressedAmerican]

23. Color me shocked!

I have predicted many times nobody would do it. I hereby retract all such statements and hope that others follow. Go Barbara Boxer, the Senator with more balls than John Kerry!

[jswordy]

24. Here's a Washington Post story...

...on the whole deal...

25. I love it!!! Man, she has balls!

"Man, she has balls" is quite a funny statement. But anyway, yes!!!
