LOL. Funny, before the election all the Dems were saying that AlGore the Junior would win just fine by losing the popular vote and taking the electoral vote. I didn't see any Bush supporter object to following the law. Where are those Dems now? They appear to advocate violating the law. As for the popular vote total, you can take a few % off AlGore the Junior's totals anyway, due to the rampant Dem voter fraud.

Would you cast the Constitution and the Rule of Law aside? Why should Bush concede? Why not Gore (for a second time)? It seems that Gore would do himself a huge political favor to be the "real man" and concede. This would position him well for 2004. Otherwise, he looks like a sore loser with an insatiable ego. How far will he go to win? Gore is clearly on the record for supporting electoral college victories without the popular vote. I would also point out that Gore did not get a majority of the popular vote, but a plurality. In any event, presidential elections are not, by law, decided by the popular vote. Regards, LoF

Hey calm down. This isn't the end of the world. You seem to be taking this in a personal way. Are you going to lose your job with the Gore team?

As befits the only major party candidate for president with a criminal record, it appears that Bush brought out the hooligan among his supporters: "...Democratic Party officials said sample ballots handed to Florida voters by volunteers as they entered the polling places in precincts in Palm Beach listed the candidates in a different order than what voters saw in the voting booths....Democratic Party officials also alleged voters were intimidated and misinformed before entering voting booths in states including Missouri, Michigan, Iowa, and Kansas. Democratic officials relayed unconfirmed reports from Iowa of senior citizens receiving telephone calls telling them they could not vote unless specifically registered for the election. “This isn’t true,” said Backus. It’s “designed to confuse seniors and keep them from voting for Al Gore … We won’t stand for it and challenge the other side to stand up as well.” In West Virginia, according to officials, voters were receiving calls from a Republican phone bank in California falsely telling them Sen. Robert Byrd, D-W.Va., had not endorsed Gore. In fact, said Hattaway, “it’s the first time he has endorsed a Democrat for president since 1964, when he endorsed Lyndon Johnson...In an incident not described by Democratic officials, Kansas’ state government is looking into telephone calls made to some residents giving false information about the state’s election laws, according to The Associated Press. Democrats had reported getting recorded messages Monday night incorrectly telling them they must bring voter registration cards to polling places to be allowed to cast a ballot, the AP reported. The campaign of Rep. Dennis Moore, a Democrat seeking re-election in the 3rd Congressional District, had contacted the FBI this morning about the phone calls. Moore’s office played the message for the AP: “Failure to comply with election law is serious business, so make sure you have your card and do it right.” ” abcnews.go.com
