And their supporters (on both sides) are little zealot puppets. X, do you suppose that being so partisan scrambles the brains? Or is it that people with already scrambled brains are drawn to partisanship? Inquiring minds want to know. Karen

Re: And what's with Bush's running mate an all the heart attacks? Why wasn't that more of an issue? I'll be amazed if the man lives 4 years. The heart attack saga was downright weird. He hasn't, no he has, well he HAS but it was a tiny one. Only in America.... Well, I guess Cheney's heart attack is quite understandable considering the circumstances: the guy's been swirled into such a tense commotion.... Phone calls in the wee small hours, round-the-clock alertness, blackmail attempts? Note, in that matter, that the Gore ticket would have concealed an even more worrisome predicament: what if President Gore kicks the bucket? Ooops.... here comes your 44th Prez: Holy-Joe Lieberman, your first Orthodox-Jew-turned-President! The kind of "honest broker" the Middle East has longed for all along.... but what vital interest does the US have in that region anyway??? Gore's outlawyers' endgame: (Re-)Count Till You Drop.... Thursday November 23 8:31 PM ET Gore To Contest Miami-Dade Results By LINDA DEUTSCH, AP Special Correspondent Vice President Al Gore's lawyers said Thursday he will contest election results from Florida's Miami-Dade County and won't concede defeat in the presidential election, even if George W. Bush remains ahead in votes that are certified Sunday night. Meanwhile, Gore's lawyers argued in a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court that the high court should stay out of the Florida election controversy, saying such interference would ``diminish the legitimacy'' of the presidential election. The brief was in response to a request by the Bush campaign that the U.S. Supreme Court bar the consideration of hand-counted ballots from two predominantly Democratic Florida Counties. In court papers, Gore's lawyers called the Bush request a ``bald attempt to federalize'' Florida's legal and election process. Earlier on Thanksgiving Day, the Florida Supreme Court refused to order Miami-Dade County officials to resume a handcount of its election-day ballots. Gore's lawyers said they will officially contest the Miami-Dade election results after the state certification of the presidential election expected late Sunday. The filing will be made no later than Monday in state court in Tallahassee. [snip] dailynews.yahoo.com
