[mordarlar]

7. I have such a "thing" for him. : P

[MsUSA]

8. Woops, he's saying * won the majority of votes in Ohio.

[TheUnspeakable]

9. WHY??? why is he absolutely convinced * won?????? n/t

[mousie]

11. Yeah, I was surprised to hear that?! n/t

[Walt Starr]

13. If he's convinced, he has damn good reason!

And I stand beside him!

[righteous1]

15. So Walt, where do you stand ? n/t

[Generator]

Yeah his real good reason his career

But that said, very few have the courage to risk their future, their chance at changing things. Most people don't question their boss. And that is the history of the world.

[saracat]

17. Fuck Obama. He went over the top for Bush. I was right about him!

[righteous1]

18. Jeeez the man hasn't served his first week

in the Senate, give him a break

[Snivi Yllom]

28. im willing to cut the guy some slack too

sheesh, I find it hard to accept that he has become a political whore a in a few days.

[LoZoccolo]

20. What are you TALKING about?

If this is your pattern of thought, let me know, so I can reclaim my time as soon as that feature is back.

[saracat]

22. He was the one that stated the most agressively that he knew Bush got more

votes in Ohio. He said there was NO question about the "legitimacy of the vote! He used MUCH stronger language defending the Bush election than anybody else. There was NO Need for that.He is a kiss ass!

[proud2BlibKansan]

30. Just standing up

is a very big deal for a brand new senator.

I have enormous respect for him, especially today.

[mirandapriestly]

27. I know, couldn't believe it.

he said there was no doubt in his mind that Bush won the election and ohio. What an asskisser. Trying to please both sides.

[mordarlar]

14. Who has not said this? Geeze his first speech was to stand for us.

[HEAVYHEART]

12. Why the fuck did he say that for???

I'm taking my flower back! hrmph! x(

[Rhiannon12866]

29. Each and every Democrat has prefaced their remarks with that admission

That's how Nancy Pelosi began her speech to the House. None of them are contesting the election. That's not what this is about. It's about the disenfranchisement of Americans, especially in Ohio, who were denied the right to vote because of long lines, not enough machines, broken machines, failure to receive absentee ballots, the list goes on. They are using this one chance to fix a broken system. But the Republicans, to a man, aren't listening, and are saying that the Democrats are refusing to concede.

I thought that Obama was quite eloquent in making his point. That 101-old-woman black went through so much to have the right to vote. But every American is entitled to that right just as much as she is.

[BernieBear]

10. He made no friend with me.

[Woo]

16. Hey he stood up...

None of them are saying Kerry won Ohio(I'm convinced Kerry DID win, but that is justa gut feeling, I haven't seen conclusive evidence myself, I just know Bush didn't win)-- cut him some slack he just got sworn in, he's a junior Senator... he is probably the future of the leadership of this country(or at least the good leadership) -- I'm really happy to see him stand up.

On the other hand, where is my Congressman... Rep Harold Ford -- If I don't see him stand and support his colleagues and I have a feeling I'm not going to see him -- I am going to make it my personal mission to see his ass kicked out in two years... the Ford's have gotten by with throwing mud in their constituents faces then being elected to public office on name alone for too long -- and if he thinks he's going to have a free ride on his fathers name and get a shot at Senate he's got another thing coming if I have anything to do with it... and I attend to tell him so in a letter I'm composing right now.

[Connie_Corleone]

21. Obama is saying the same thing most if not all democrats said

Why are people expecting Obama to say Bush did NOT win?

Geez! He says Bush won and people here want to throw him over the ship!

[AmerDem]

23. OBama is Mr. status quo

He just voted no. I guess the multi million dollar book signing has changed his perspective of life.

[kath]

24. He just voted "NO"!!

[katinmn]

25. I think he showed a lot of guts. Look at all the old-time Dems who

sat and said nothing.

[Adelante]

26. All voting no

except two I heard. I couldn't be more disappointed in this weakling party.

[buddysmellgood]

31. You know, my contribution to his next campaing will not make the

difference in putting him in office, so I won't send it.
