Scumbria: i am starting to think maybe Gore should concede after all (after all the recounts and absentee ballots are checked): a) Bush is in a deadlocked Congress.. and with all the bitterness from this election, wont get any of his radical programs into place.. GridLock ensues. He gets blamed. b) The economy is supposed to slow down and go south the next couple of years (if it isnt going already).. This is what cost Dubya's daddy his presidency in 1992 to Clinton... and it could cost Georgie Jr. All Gore has to do is sit tight.. and when the slump hits, point at the economy and then at Bush and say 'told you so' - putting him in great position for getting elected in 2004. Swallow the pride and take the short term pain for the long term gain (of course.. if absentee ballots or recounts cause Bush to fall behind Gore.. then all bets are off) :)

<does not have the intellectual capacity> How true and general observation. Just few minutes ago on CNN some idiot argued that the 20,000 thrown ballots are not so unusual because in 1996 election there were also 15,000 bad ballots. It does not cross their mind that it just proves the fact that the ballots were and _are_ inherently flawed. Talk now about "intellectual capacity" <ggg> Regards, - Ali

"I honestly believe that George W. Bush does not have the intellectual capacity to run the country. " Actually he isn't as dumb as he may seem. He just doesn't have the patience for the details, and he prefers not to think too deeply. Besides, there is always the Reagan defense, "but his advisors are great!". Like it is a good thing not to have voted for the people actually making the decisions... "If his last name wasn't Bush, the guy might be an insurance salesman," Well, if his last name wasn't Bush, he more than likely would have had a DD from the Air National Guard and a felony conviction on insider trading. But in todays job market, he might be able to do better than that.
