Federal Judge to hear voter complaints on irregularities at 2:30PM today.

Demonstrations in FL starting to get out of control, Jesse Jackson en route.

Believe me, if this script had been submitted as a fantasy novel, it would have been thrown in the trash can by every publisher...even the Inquirer.

I have an important question...

Why isn't the media saying anything about calling the state of Florida for Gore before the northern part of the state had closed their polls?

There is a time difference between the two, and maybe people stayed home because they thought it didn't matter...

So who would be to blame here? The people who stayed home, or the media for saying the state had already decided on Gore?

This makes as much sense as the media making a big deal out of the people punching the wrong hole... doing the wrong thing is doing the wrong thing!

Maybe the media is the fault this happened.
