Here it goes!
Nancy Pelosi preparing to contest the validity of the count if the Democrats do not win - 
This is getting entirely pathetic. Harold Ford Jr. is already complaining. Defeat is unthinkable - its as if they don't win, its not their policies or ideas; its got to be that somebody cheated!
If Democrats are this frazzled before what looks like should be a House takeover, I am frightened over how they will handle power of any kind. Luckily there will be no Democrat agenda being created that will pass - the purpose of the Democrats, if they control the House, will be to be ubstructionists for 2 more years.
By the way - Rep. Alcee Hastings is somebody you will be hearing about soon. He was acquitted on bribery charges as a federal judge, although his co-conspirator was actually charged. What did he (allegedly) do? He (allegedly) agreed to take money in exchange for reduced sentences. Nevertheless, then Judge Hastings was impeached by a vote of 413-3 in the House and 69-26 in the Senate. Why is this important? This is the person that Nancy Pelosi, who by the way voted to impeach him, is going to have run the Intelligence Committee, thereby skunking Jane Harman.
So he was acquitted, but still was massively, massively voted against in an impeachment. Now he may run a Congressional Committee? Jane Harman is the #2 craziest politician in California behind Rep. Pelosi, so the thought of Harman getting overlooked is fantastic. On the other hand though, are Democrats really going to have an (alleged!) criminal head the Intelligence Committee? Oh, my friends, this surely will not last long.
