Worried the challenge might cast Democrats as whiners, many from the party including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. played minor roles in the showdown, or none at all.

Underscoring that, after the challenge forced the House and Senate to convene separately to consider the Ohio problems, the House rejected the protest by 267-31. The Senate vote was 74-1, with Boxer the only vote in support.

Where the hell were Dodd, Reid, Clinton and Obama? I'd characterize their action less whining than wimping.

Since the only emotion Oil Slick Dick has ever shown is anger, I wouldn't have expected there to be any other reading.

Well. There you have it. Your official announcement.

Now. On with the coronation.
