Well it doesn't appear that Gore will have picked up his 600 projected votes in Miami's Dade county.

MIAMI — George W. Bush would have gained six more votes than Al Gore if all the dimples and hanging chads on 10,600 previously uncounted ballots in Miami-Dade County had been included in the totals, according to a review by the Palm Beach Post.
If everything were counted —from the faintest dimple to chads barely hanging on ballots — the Post review showed 251 additional votes for Mr. Bush and 245 additional votes for Mr. Gore.

Now maybe Clinton and his cronies will shut-up about it.

Anybody see the Florida count on the front page of any newspaper? Didn't think so. Thats how our "unbiased" media does things.
Can't wait for Jan. 21st. Clinton can take his legacy and shove it.

kraken, they voted against Clinton - doubt they considered Gore. They got (we all got) Bush by default.
Most probably voted for GW on 1 issue alone. Sad but true.

what's wrong with single issue voters? i don't think that it's sad to feel so strongly about one issue that it is the only thing you look for.

It is worse than someone who does not vote at all. "Damm everything give me what I want"

Pitiful - worse than Clinton, Hillory and Jackson combined - and that's from your point of view.

The people voted against Gore. Bill cannot run again according to your constitution (see LawerRon).

If Bill could have run again you would have had Democrats in the Whitehouse again.

Dubbya won by legislation (court) don't go braggin but hope he does a good job.

acctually kraken, i believe the Miami Herald did it's own recount in Fla, and Bush won fair and square.

I meant that if Bill had been able to run again (not just florida) he would have won.

Bill didn't run, so you cannot hold any votes given against him.

Your system sucks to the max. give money get your way.

kraken, i was referring to the last line where you said that bush won due to the courts. even if the courts had ruled in gore's favor, bush would still have won the recount.


>>Your system sucks to the max. give money get your way.<<

that may be, but money isn't the be all and end all of winning. if that were so, the democrats would have won since they raised way more money than the republicans
