By law, the popular vote in a presidential election is a non-event, irrelevant. Ergo, algore hasn't "won" anything. By the way, the total popular vote is far from being counted nationwide in any event. But, in the new post-Clinton America, what is rule of law anyway, like traffic lights in Italy, merely a suggestion? If the Predident can lie while wagging his finger at us, can be serviced while on the phone to foreign dignitaries, etc. why should any of us care anymore? Why not try anarchy for a while? Then lets see how little guy is protected from the strong and powerful. Don't like the election, change the rules after the fact, works in the banana republics we always decry. Lets revisit our stance on Milosovich's election, all the places in the world we're always butting into. The Democrats are the most hypocritical bunch of losers in our history. No morals, no core beliefs, just anything to attain and retain political position. Not that I'm a big republican fan, plenty of issues there as well, but at least there retain some sense of dignity and decorum.

OT By the "Hollywood" types, I am referring to people like Alec Baldwin and Rosie O'Donnell, who get people riled up over one issue such as abortion, and say the country is going to he** if a Repub is elected, so much so he says he will move to Canada. They are in the spotlight and unfortunately their wacky opinions are given far too much attention. As for the Electoral College being done away with as Queen Hillary(LOL!) claimed it should this morning, that would need a 2/3 vote in the Senate and the House, followed by approval of 75% of the states. I find this highly unlikely since the states which would need to approve this would in fact be ceding power to these Hollywood liberals who distort the facts. BK
