I had no doubt that Bush's electors would "hold true" -- after all, they are his MOST committed supporters (some of you should be committed, but that's another story).
What interested me is the latest reports this morning showing that, with absentee ballots counted after the election now included, the most current tallies show Gore's lead widening -- he is ahead by over 530,000 votes nationally - not the 300,000 previously reported but 530,000+.
So as you ponder your boy in the White House, and gloat for benefit of the rest of us, and you wonder why people won't accept his legitimacy, just remember that he lost the national vote by the widest margin of any President who ever finished second but won the electoral vote, he lost by approximately 5 times the margin that Kennedy beat Nixon by, and if memory serves, by more than the margin Nixon beat Humphrey by. And that he had to steal Florida with the help of 5 ideologues on the Supreme Court to do it.
They are counting in Florida now. When the results of that review are complete, the illegitimacy of the Bush presidency will be underscored for the world to see.
Hail to the thief. |
