Jesse Jackson: 'At least 6 Senators!'

According to several sources, Jesse Jackson has just announced six Senators who will join to challenge the Electors today in a joint session of Congress. His announcement was made to a rally going on at this hour in Lafayette Park across from the White House.

Jackson told the crowd that Senator Barbara Boxer will stand to challenge, and will be supported by at least the following Democratic Senators: Hilary Clinton (NY), Harry Ried (NV), Barack Obama (IL), Dick Durbin (IL) and Christopher Dodd (CT).

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.

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

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.

7. STANDING UP
it feels so good. These people wouldn't have stood up first, for that drubbing, but that's what a leader like Boxer does.
