2. They are not joining to challenge

They are standing in support, and giving statements in support. There is a difference.

4. What's the diff?

The statement seems quite similar. All you need is one.

That Boxer, she's one tough broad.

[WilliamPitt]

5. The diff

is between signing your name and saying "I agree with the person who signed her name."

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

6. Well, yeaaaaahhhhh...

I knew that. But, it seems like something of a moot point. All you need is one.

Besides, Boxer's seat seems to be the most bulletproof.
