Talking about certifying/objecting Electoral Vote..CSPan-2, Right Now

[Karenca]

Sen. Mark Dayton, Minnesota

[papau]

1. Cute - since most cable carries C-Span One only - but at least it

is on.

:-)

[demo dutch]

10. Cspan 1 is showing Gonzalez hearing that's why!

[cyberpj]

18. and I had to leave Gonzoles hearing when Hatch started gushing

over the guy.

So I came to cspan 2 and found dayton.

Guess I'll be switching back and forth all day.

2. Sen Dayton from MN describing the process n/t

[Karenca]

3. "this is not about partisanship"....nt

[BarbinMD]

4. And dinging the SCOTUS...

...IMO. Whooo! Should be in the hands of the judiciary which is "supposed to be non-partisan"...emphasis on supposed to be. Now saying based on what evidence he's seen, if Kerry had won, the GOP would throw out the election. "This is not about partisanship, this is about ensuring the <something?? purity?> of the electoral process."

[Nothing Without Hope]

21. Sounds like some strong stuff

"Now saying based on what evidence he's seen, if Kerry had won, the GOP would throw out the election."

It's these rare times that I wish I had cable. Thanks so much for the report! Will keep looking for updates.

[Karenca]

6. I think he may be

one of the objecting senators?

[Chimpanzee]

9. Sure sounds like it!

[cyberpj]

14. having trouble reading him

he seems to say it's serious and deserves a look but also seems afraid and warns that it would rock the nation.

yeah? so?

[jsascj]

5. Is he just standing up there

Justifying why he is not going to contest?

I just tuned in.

[BarbinMD]

7. Now talking about other states...

...maybe have having even worse irregularities.

[Twist_U_Up]

8. hes nervous.....

I think they know something wicked this way comes.

[BarbinMD]

13. I agree...

I've never heard him speak, but his voice is shaking, isn't it?

[Twist_U_Up]

26. hes somewhat confident speaking about Iraq

he starts busting on the repukes is when he starts stammering

[demo dutch]

15. Yes because in the end his neck is on the line when re-election comes

[txindy]

27. If he believes what he's saying, and I think he does, he has no worries

Not about re-election, anyway, because fraud will guarantee that he loses no matter what he says or does today. The neocons want ALL the seats, not just those they have now.

[Karenca]

16. he semed quite nervous to me .nt

[bufftiger]

11. Sen. Dayton says 2-hour debate is woefully inadequate

Though I can't tell if he thinks this is the right venue for dealing with electoral reform, or if he thinks that a congressional investigation would be more effective
now talking about iraq

[berner59]

17. Wasn't sure at 1st...

But I think he's calling for congressional hearings...not JUST a 2hr debate...wow!!!

[Karenca]

20. that's what I got out of it...and

he seemed nervous, yet serious.

[FreeCajun]

31. These thugs may try to kill him and his family... I'd be nervous too. n/t

[Nothing Without Hope]

28. The more exposure, the faster the lid is going to blow on this scandal n/t

[tcfrogs]

12. WTF?

He asked for more time - and now he's talking about Iraq. I don't understand Senate rules, I guess.

[FULL_METAL_HAT]

19. Interesting that Cheney is not there ... will he be there this afternoon??

The desire to not bring any attention to this is sooooooooo telling.

Absence of presence or of attention almost screams

"THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL TO SEE HERE!!!!!!"

[cyberpj]

22. HAS to be - according to the by laws, etc.

[Karenca]

23. C* is never ANYWHERE!!

Except. when he had to hold Chimps hand at the 9/11 meeting

[babylonsister]

24. Thanks for the heads-up! Gonna be a FABULOUS day!

[super simian]

25. Why did Dayton ask for....

...five more minutes and then go on and on about Iraq? I thought they were supposed to be talking about Ohio? Is he filibustering?

[cyberpj]

29. He sounds like he could cry at any moment -

Since he's going 'off' about Iraq just after the electoral speech it sounds like he's FED UP with the lies

FINALLY!

The man is angry.

[Karenca]

30. Very angry!!

Yes!!!!!

[cyberpj]

32. he was totally believable to me - i think he might stand too

[Coexist]

33. This is great!

Kucinich on now!

[jdog]

34. Link? Link? PLEASE tell me there's a link somewhere????

I'm at work!
