> Will John Kerry come forward and challenge the theft of his own election?

The article headline "Will John Kerry come forward and challenge the theft of his own election?" is misleading. The headline seems to be complaining because Kerry is not loudly hallenging the Bush vistory in Ohio, whereas it is actually pressing for Kerry to be the senator—and only one senator is required—who speaks up on January 6, 2005 to force senate acknowledgment and investigation of the election fraud and disenfranchisement complaints from voters in Ohio.
Kerry is clearly not the type to shrink from coming forward himself on January 6 and exercising his senatorial right and authority to trigger a federal investigation of vote-count irregularities in Ohio. But I think Kerry would rather have another senator present the issue. Though it could be come from John Edwards, the motion would sound the least partisan, and would command the most media coverage if it came from the current senator who both campaigned for Bush’s re-election, and has a prominent history of calling for election reform. That would be John McCain.
