Gore should have won the Floridian election by 20 to 30 thousand votes. I submit, the Voter Network Service had it called right when they originally projected Gore would win Florida.

Given the rigid behavior of Ambassador-elect Harris, I wouldn't be surprised to learn in the aftermath of all this that Governor Jeb Bush and his GOPwinger forces played hanky-panky, taking a page from Nixon's GOPwingers in order to deliver Florida's electoral college votes to his brother, much like former NH governor and elder Bush former chief of staff John Sununu did in the senior Bush's NH primary campaign against Bob Dole after he lost the Iowa Caucus.

Interestingly, I don't think what the GOPwinger forces could foresee, however, was the strong turnout amongst minority voters which ultimately could prove the difference in this election thereby upsetting the best efforts of Bush's brother in Florida.

By the way, for those of you having trouble observing local Floridian canvassing boards, have you ever viewed an Iowan Republican Caucus? Good luck to all of us! (LOL)
