Let's face it. This country is split virtually 50/50 politically. No matter how this vote in Florida, and the Electoral College finally shakes out... and who finally ends up the next President on Jan. 20th. Virtually 1/2 of the country prefers Bush, and the other half prefers Gore. 1. The Senate will be either 50/50 or 51/49. 2. The House will be approx. half dozen votes of being 50/50. 3. The "popular vote" (ignoring the minor candidates) is virtually 50/50. It looks like a relatively handful of voters in Florida (and perhaps with a few thousand attorneys, as well a judge or two) will most likely determine who will be the next President of the United States. Heck, I've had garden parties with more people than the difference in this election in that state <g>...out of 100 million friggin voters. Just unbelievable! And heck, we knew about Nadar, but who'd have thought poor old Pat Buchanan (not even registering 1% of the nation-wide vote) would end up having ANY affect on this election. It's all just absolutely amazing!
