X in the Senate.

What next? To my understanding the matter goes to the Republican Controlled House for a decision?

What do we hope to accomplish (other than making an important statement) which I'm fine with ... but what exactly do we expect to see happen ?

Best case scenario? House chooses Bush to be our President, Democrats are called sore losers and X is marginalized in the Senate.

Worse case scenario? House chooses Bush to be our President, Democrats are called sore losers and X is marginalized in the Senate.

Isn't the outcome the same either way? I'd love the drama, the fight, the statement. But is it really anything more?
