Kodiak Bull - Another oddity, a dead guy wins office. First time ever so I'm told. They conceded that senate race late night, but maybe it's still too close, don't know. I stayed up until 3am (I'm on the east coast). I can't believe how bad the news reporting has been. Bush should be favored by the absentee ballots though.

Eyes opened via toothpicks<g> & find GW's FL margin a few hundred votes? Once the major TV networks flip-flopped on giving Florida to Gore early on, we should have guessed that the sunshine state was the key to the whole shebang. No living American has ever witnessed an election like this. Unless they are 124 yrs old! In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes (a fav son of Ohio, BTW) won 185 electoral votes to 184. Before that you have to go back to the election of 1800 when it was Thomas Jefferson vs Aaron Burr. So, this extraordinary election is one of the 3 closest in American History. And the fur is only beginning to fly in the aftermath... Iso
