President-In-Waiting Albert Gore still leads the popular vote by 220,000 votes. He will win the popular vote and will remain a powerful political leader for the next four years. He waged a terrific campaign. The Republicans tried to demonize him for 18 months. He is now the most popular political figure in America. We must continue to fight to amend the Constitution and finally make America a country where the President is chosen by popular vote. We choose Governors and Senators that way. Why not choose the President that way? We can trust the American people.

What about if the Nader voters change their vote to Gore? How would you deal with that?

How about the "disenfranchised" voters in the Florida panhandle that heard that Bush had lost Florida to Gore before the polls even closed? Should we conduct a new election in the panhandle? How about all of the other voters, nationwide, who decided to not go to the polls when it appeared that Bush was on the road to losing the electoral college? Would Gore have a lead in the popular vote if the media had not violated the public trust?
