ballot expert claimed chads build up like ear wax
on presidential race column
claimed votamatic devices hadnt been cleaned since 1998
as in, emptied of chad debris
thus dimpled ballots occurred
but Bush boys sliced and diced him
every time you pick up the votamatic, its chad moves around
so the buildup sloshes around
and so does the chad
extremely weak argument, unconvincing
Yale statistics professor testified on undervote pct
undervote ballot has no prez candidate chosen
but the guy made a statement that was not backed up
he mislead in a comparison, and got caught
professor apparently used Gore lawyer opinion as data
very serious fauxpas, clearly pointed out
then the endofday blowup with Judge Sauls putting down Gore's team
still looking for details
frustrating as hell for Team Gore, for sure
this documentary points out how GWBush campaigns more like Clinton
than his own father
GDub studied how Clinton defeated his father, and learned
talked of GDub's high school time at Andover Academy (prep school)
he was main cheerleader, and made it a huge role on campus
despite lack of intellectual curiosity, GDub has strong points
I love the guy's body language
comfortable in front of camera
handled Gore's untoward approach during debate beautifully
he confronts the press when too probing into personals
he handled former Texas Gov Richards well
DBub is reportedly very adept at team building across party lines
this is his pattern in Texas, so says the press
lots of details of Texas Ranger investment
he had $600k invested, profited by $14M, not bad
he lobbied and won 0.5% state sales tax in Texas to finance stadium
this was before becoming governor
the more I hear and see, the more I like of Bush
he aint perfect, but likely will be good leader
the more I hear and see, the more I despise Gore
in my humble opinion, I think he would be a disaster
as prez, Gore would probably sue Congress, Courts, States regularly
Letterman, Leno, SatNightLive will have plenty of material
GDub lends well to caricature
