Dems' only hope: Uproot Bush's power
by Don Feder

With each passing day, it becomes more apparent
why the Democratic Party refuses to concede this election: so that
when Gov. George W. Bush is finally sworn in as our 43rd president,
the office will be worthless.
Despite Vice President Al Gore's back-to-back judicial defeats on
Monday, he continues his futile quest - with his party's backing, no
less. Democrats aren't in denial. Rather, they have determined to
make it impossible for Bush to govern, when the inevitable happens.
That it's disastrous for the country to have a president whose
legitimacy is questioned doesn't even enter into their calculations.
For the next four years, they will repeat, mantra fashion, the
following: Gore won the popular vote. Bush was elected president
with the electoral votes of a state where his margin of victory was
.009 percent. Given that thousands of Democratic votes were
``undercounted,'' it's probable that the vice president was the real
winner in Florida, hence of the presidency. Bush stole the election.
