Sore loser redux from The Federalist:

One more historical footnote to the 2000 presidential election: A nearly year long study of disputed Florida ballots, commissioned by eight news organizations and conducted by the University of Chicago's National Opinion Research Center, concluded that under most vote counting procedures, President Bush would have won -- even under the Florida recount method losing candidate Al Gore requested. (Only with a full statewide recount of all rejected ballots might Gore have gotten the nod.) While almost everyone else considers the question entirely moot, some partisan diehards persist, such as Bob Fertik, of Democrats.com, who sniffed, "They [media outlets] chose to spin the outcome as a victory for Bush. They chose to validate Bush's theft of the presidency rather than look at the facts." (Yeah, like the New York Times and the Washington Post are out to "spin the outcome as a victory for Bush.")
