6. Fox News...
....said awhile ago that Senator Boxer, or at least someone in her office, has confirmed that she will, indeed, contest the Ohio vote.

12. We all know the reason Gonzales will head Justice-to protect Bushco
from investigations of any kind. What a country we now live in!

8. I saw a full page add in Newsday this morning for a CNN prime-time
special on the tsunami. Anyone know if they will still run this in light of the history being made today?

11. Earlier MSNBC has a brief piece on the story
It was about 10 seconds long and said that today was the day that congress certified Bush's election win. No mention of a challenge or anything else.

13. They seem to think unless it will change the outcome of the election, it
is irrelevant.

This seems to follow the standard theme that unless all the problems in Ohio could flip Ohio to Kerry, it doesn't matter.

Pathetic!

18. I think this warped reasoning is why (other then Olberman) there was very
little to no coverage of the voter suppression, irregularities, Blackwell's failure to follow the law, etc.

19. Scott Peterson will be holding a press conference
on the reading of the electoral votes in congress. Amber Frey will be there and may expose herself. Winners of 'Fear Factor' will demonstrate their winning stunts while describing their concern about systematic disenfranchisement of voters.

Maybe our problem is lack of packaging??

22. Our KGW Channel 8 News
In Oregon made mention of the contest. They quoted snippets of the AP story.

Haven't heard a peep from anyone else though.

24. Daryn Kagan to Ed Henry: "You are here as our 'theatre critic' today."
Edited on Thu Jan-06-05 11:01 AM by flpoljunkie
You cannot get more dismissive than this--describing the Democrats who are standing up for the right for all of us to have free and fair elections whose outcomes we can trust.

What a disgusting journalistic display, Daryn, implying that what the Democrats are doing today will just be "theatre" regarding, not only the Electoral College challenge but the Gonzales hearings!
