we have been asked by our Democratic colleagues to take this objection to the vote today seriously. We have been told this is not frivolous. Well, we have to ask, why Ohio? Why Ohio, the State that happened to put President Bush over the top? Why not Minnesota where Kerry won, where there were discrepancies and Democrat groups working inside polling places at polling booths? Why not New Hampshire where Kerry won where Democrat operatives allegedly slashed wheels of vehicles intended to take Republicans to the polls? Why not Wisconsin which Kerry won where Democrat operatives physically intimidated Republican voters? Or why not even Colorado where a Democrat worker with ACORN signed herself up to vote 25 different times? Or why not New Mexico where a 13-year old was registered to vote by the same Democrat front group? And why not some of the other problems that were going on in Ohio, why do we not talk about them? For example, in Franklin County in Ohio where a dead person was registered to vote, or 25 addresses were submitted for the same man, why are they not concerned about that? Or why not raise a question about Lake County where a man who had been dead for 20 years was registered to vote?

Every Republican, whether he ran for a dog catcher or school board or president -- they all ran on repeal and replace. So they have to do something.

Hillary Clinton's numbers are cratering because she's lied to the FBI. She's under a criminal investigation. WikiLeaks is an embarrassment to the Democrat Party.
