Hi All
Hope the holidays were merry. Now you will need all your strength. I havent seen any kosser point this out today, which could be big news. and no, kerry hasnt filed the motion yet. the news comes from Olbermann today. here is a snippet. Someone, a staffer it appears, is telling Olbermann that since last week it now appears the 20 electoral may be challenged. Im going some other sources I know and see if they can confirm anything. what are the implications of this? will this event, should it take place, be a historic moment in our nation's history? better get more eggnog.

"It's unfathomable that Kerry would sign the requisite written challenge. Given his incredibly nuanced response to the entire voting irregularities story, and his evident aspiration to become the Adlai Stevenson or even William Jennings Bryan of the 21st Century, becoming the Senate sponsor of the challenge would seem about as likely and about as consistent as a motorist doing 20 in the right hand lane, suddenly accelerating to 110 and doing the full Bill Murray Groundhog Day bit into the quarry.
Kerry's signature might not even be sought. There has been "very serious" contact among the staffs of leading Democrats in both houses about the implications of the challenge, according to a congressional figure privy to that contact. He estimates for us that the chance of a Senator actually signing on has -- in the last week -- risen from almost nothing, to upwards of one third."
