I would just like to remind everyone of a seminal event in American politics. It occurred on Jan 6, 2005, so just a little more than a year ago. It was dubbed "The Boxer Rebellion" and it occurred during the count of Electoral College votes when Barbara Boxer and Democrat Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Cleveland, Ohio stood to object to the counting of Ohio electoral votes due to voting day irregularities. The counting of electoral votes was suspended for four hours while the issue was debated in the House.
The debate didn't last long and most Democrats voted with Republicans to accept the slate. Still this was a very unusual event. The last time an objection to a full state slate of electors was made in 1877.
Afterwards House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas said the effort to delay Bush's victory was shameful and showed that the Democratic Party is dominated by conspiracy theorists he dubbed the party's "X-Files" wing.
and Rep. Ric Keller, R-Fla., told Democrats that they needed to. . . "Get over it. The very people who refuse to move on are the people from MoveOn.org and their hero, Michael Moore.''
But that was then. Now we have a conspiracy to jam phone lines in New Hampshire that has blazed a trial all the way to the White House.
Could it be that other, even more important elections, like those in a swing state with a corrupt Secretary of State, also recieved some tweaking by that old Rovian magic?
Ever wonder how the most unpopular president in history could get himself reelected?
