vc21,

<<An American travesty and tragedy. I'm for Gore but if he wins, I'm never voting again. I feel robbed today.>>

Please elaborate. As a former (and eternal, I'm afraid) Political Science major, I'm very interested in your reaction to all of this, and appreciate your sharing your opinions on a thread that is mostly pro-Bush (myself included).

Thanks,

jpgill

What an exciting moment in American history. A beautifully humming system to protect against fraud and to guarantee the sanctity of the political process.

Unlike Keith who would seem to prefer going to an athletic event where only one team shows up, I find the American politcal process the big winner here.

In years to come we will no longer hear the apathetic voice say his or her vote doesn't count. We will know better.

Democracy can stand proud.

This could last days - maybe months - I could see an argument for a revote prevailing in Florida. I doubt it, but it is not beyond the realm of what's fair(given the irregularities and the closeness), maybe even a runoff between just the two leading candidates (which I just heard postulated on the news).

Any bookies on here?
