Trust me, every day Gore continues his antics he's losing supporters. But we'll never know because this vote will be upheld.

I think it's curtains for Bush. It'd be my guess that the four counties will come in with totals that will pass Bush, even in consideration of the absentee ballots.

How ironic that Bush wanted to win the presidency on the strength of a mistake of a Palm Beach County poll worker who designed an illegal butterfly ballot and on erroneous counts from voting machines whose manufacturers admit have a considerable error rate due to the chads. Hey, chads count!

In fact, ultimately, Bush will end up losing based on his own tactical error: Failure to request hand recounts in counties that would have produced favorable recounts.

PartyTime,

Oh brother. Good grief.

Another national vote? LMAO. Why would we do that? It looks like we won this one.

Let me give you a hint. Come back in four years. Try again. There is no shame in losing, but someone has to.

Or that two-thirds of the states supported Bush over Gore. It only takes the largest 7 states to get 70 percent of the electoral college. It shows how difficult it was for Bush to overcome these welfare magnet states.
