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.

    Shit, I picked up Jane Harman in fantasy congress thinking she would have some pull. Time to change the lineup!

    If you haven't seen the HBO documentary "Hacking Democracy" yet, it's worth seeing if you haven't. I don't blame ANY candidate for contesting a count (Republican, Democrat or whoever)

    (Personally, I think political parties are the worst thing to happen to the country, ever)

    Don't Pelosi for having a legal team in place for a potential contest. That's been standard practice by BOTH parties for ages. Only the nonsense of the 2000 presidential election put it further into the public eye.

    Crazy Californians?? Shit, these people elected Arnauld. The looney flies both directions out there.

    Speaking of "defeat is unthinkable"- did anyone see the clip of Faith Hill NOT winning at the country music awards? it was circulating at work today. They have the camera on her, and as they say "and the winner is" you see her smile and start to stand up, and they say "Carrie Underwood" and you see this RAGE flash across her face and she screams "WHAT? WHAT!"

    And then totally denies it and says she was joking.

    Nice one.

    Yet another reason to avoid country music. ;)
