As I understand it, if Boxer wasn't willing to agree with the House objectors, this would go nowhere, except maybe that the House objectors could talk a little about the election reforms that are supposedly being brought forward. But now that everything has to grind to a halt, everyone focuses on "the Dems really want to fight this issue out". Nice work, Babs.
Do the Repub supporters have similar thoughts about the re-vote movement in the Washington governor race? I don't know much about it. Seems like a similar subject line could be used, but perhaps there's something else going on...

This can't make a difference in this election, and everyone knows that. But, there is significant angst about Ohio's voting problems in some circles (although there is significant ignorance of the reasons) and it's probably important to have this national debate just to let people feel like their issue has been raised, however cursory in scope. For the price - two hours of debate - it's far better to do this, and move on. Had this debate NOT occurred, we'd be listening to "they swept it under!!!" for four more years.
