Hank, this is why I don't like your sig lines.

Adder, I don't really have a much of a "smart" standard for certain purposes. For LTR, I do, but Hank's married. I can't fuck him for political reasons.

Dear, I would rather we not discuss our personal life here.

So I guess I am saying you are right. It is extraordinarily unlikely to be litigated. Unless, of course, a Dem were to win the election and the republicans thought they liked their odd in the house. You know, like 2000. (kidding, people)

Now I'm not sure sure I am.

Perhaps a candidate could contest the eligibility of another to be on a state ballot. It might not get resolved in time, but I could see that being litigated.

Once it gets to the Senate, the problem is that the vice president would still have been elected. So you'd have a vacancy in the presidency, that would be filled by the vote of the House (no valid candidate having a majority of electoral votes). Can you imagine the ruckus that would create? A popularly elected president not getting to take office, to be replaced by a candidate from the other party, but still with the vice president from the ticket that won the election.

I suspect if you got to that point, what would happen instead is that they'd be a deal making the VP the prez., and allowing the prez. to choose a new VP with the consent of the Senate.

The right almost unilaterally condemned Coulter for her ill-conceived joke.

When is ANYONE on the left going to condemn that ass Bill Maher for his Cheney comments?

How about 12:44 a.m. yesterday?

I didn't know about Maher's remarks until I saw that post ten minutes ago. Is it worse to make a big issue of them, thereby spreading them around more?

(And I still think the self-condemnation game is stupid, whoever is playing it.)

Okay. Coulter's an ass. Maher's an ass. You're an infant for using the "he did it too!" defense.

Happy?

Most states have expedited ballot proceedings. I'd assume anyone who was in a grey area would try to find a way to settle the question early, because it would be used against them politically.

And you're an ass for suggesting that's what I said, when I didn't.

I didn't defend anyone.

Again -since you clearly missed it - I noted that right universally condemned Coulter for her comments. Then I pointed out that the Left never criticizes their own, like Maher.

And then I pointed out that you were wrong, as you usually are when you start playing this game.

Yes, but you did it by citing to a blog. You know how the Rs hate that.

One blog? One? And not even a leading blog, either. For all I know, that blog could be yours.

Are you effing kidding me?

On the right, we have the NRs, Malkin, Reynolds et al. About fifty (at last look) signed a petition to have Coulter banned from CPAC.

Coulter has long spewed bile more vicious and insulting than anything she said this week, and yet the CPAC keeps inviting her back.

Huh. The first time I ever ever saw or heard Ann Coulter was on Bill Maher's show. The one that was cancelled because of a dumbass thing that he said.
