Still Counting... The Cynic cynic@politicalusa.com 11/28/2000 I have this vision... It's October 9th, 2003, and civilian Al Gore, Jr. is holding yet another press conference. He announces that he has found one more vote to add to his total in Florida. It turns out that Elsie Carmichael had chronic diarrhea on November 7, 2000, and had every intention of voting for him: Gore: "With this single vote, my lead over Governor Bush should be 14, and not the 537 deficit that the partisan Katherine Harris certified. More people wanted me to win. Here we have Ms. Carmichael, who wanted to vote for me and she is struggling to pay for her prescription medicine right now. The problem was, she ate at a Cuban restaurant the night prior to the election. "We all know the political slant of the Cuban community. They blocked her from voting for me. This was a Republican restaurant, they saw her and they decided that they could not allow her to vote. She has been disenfranchised. This is America. In America every vote has to count. I will now take a few questions." ---- Reporter(interrupting): " Considering that we are about a year away from the next Presidential election, don't you think it's time that you concede your loss in the 2000 race?" Gore: " Excellent question. I will be happy to concede a loss to that election as long as every vote is counted and I am absolutely positive that the outcome is the correct one. What could I tell my grandchildren when they ask me if their vote counts? Mary, if we allow people not to have their voice heard we cannot continue our democracy. I want every vote counted, I want it counted again, and then I want to count it personally to make sure that the counters weren't interfered with. That is the only way we could be sure." Reporter: " John Grabowski, I don't work for no paper or nothing, I just heard there would be doughnuts. Can you tell me where they are?" Gore: "<sigh>John, the doughnuts will be served after the press conference." politicalusa.com
