OFF TOPIC I heard it on Hardball last night. They claimed to be reading from the instructions mailed to the voters. But -- point taken -- perhaps they were mistaken. If so, I'll give Chris Matthiews a piece of my mind. ;) "But I don't believe the Gore partisans are concerned primarily with the ballot or with process. I think they don't like the apparent outcome, and are grasping at any means of reversing it." That's for certain. No one would be talking about this mess if not for the closeness of the election. That said, we SHOULD be concerned with the process. Indeed, it is our obligation as citizens. The integrity of the election process is vital at a time like this. But does that mean that the result of this election should be overturned? I say no. Granted I am a Republican... ;)

OT P.S. Was that an algore sigh at the beginning of this post?? Unfortunately Palm Beach voters are either idiots or disenfranchised based on who you want for president. It's hard to put the shoe on the other foot. TV commentators mention Nixon's ostensibly generous refusal to upset the nation by asking for a recount in Chicago in 1960. What they fail to mention is that Kennedy told him if we recount Chicago we recount Southern Illinois. Nixon knew the results would be damming and said that wasn't such a good idea. Voter fraud exists. Anyone who claims it doesn't is naive --- and probably thinks Clinton was the first to abuse the Oval Office. If I were Gore I would step aside for the greater good, and in the process bank enough political capital to win by a landslide in 2004. In the interim I'd make sure someone wrote an expose that would take the abuses far beyond Palm Beach. I know one Florida State student who was denied her right to vote because she didn't have her sample ballot. The same happened to others at her university. By taking the office under a cloud, GeorgeW will be the first president to be the lead in a national sit-com. Someone should remind him Hollywood pays better. Pat
