This could be an extraordinarily close Electoral College race. If Gore wins Pennsylvania and Florida, and Bush wins Michigan, Ohio and Missouri, the outcome could be decided by late voting in Oregon and Washington State, because of the time difference. From everything I've read, the Hispanic, black and union vote could turn several states in Gore's favor, such as New Mexico (Hispanic), Florida (black) and Pennsylvania (union). Looks like the union drives may be picking up steam. Following story from Reuters: By Thomas Ferraro FLINT, Mich. (Reuters) - Democrat Al Gore drew one of the biggest crowds of his presidential campaign on Wednesday night -- a largely union gathering of more than 10,000 people who saluted him as the winner of the final presidential debate. Did you see the debate last night?'' asked Gore, visibly energized by polls that show most people thought he won Tuesday's debate in St. Louis. ``You won, you won,'' the crowd replied, chanting, ``Go Al, Go.'' ``You know that old song, 'You are the wind beneath my wings,''' Gore told the cheering crowd in downtown Flint, Michigan. ``That is how I feel right now. I'm in this for you.'' The vice president picked up where he left off in the third presidential debate, ripping into Republican foe George W. Bush on a variety of fronts, from heath care to taxes. He again charged the Texas governor's plan to partially privatize Social Security did not add up and would result in the federal retirement system going bankrupt or being forced to reduce benefits. ``You know what you call that?'' Gore said, leading the crowd in cries of ``fuzzy math.'' He recalled that Bush, when asked at the debate if much of his tax cut would actually go to the richest one percent of the population, replied, ``Of course.'' Gore then said pointedly, drawing more cheering from the crowd, ``When people ask me if I'm going to fight for working men and women, that is when I say, 'Of course.''' The vice president came to Flint, an industrial city of about 120,000, many of them members of the United Autoworkers, after a visit earlier in the day in Des Moines.
