Gore lead in popular vote is now more than 350,000 votes. You say its irrelevant. I say it shows how popular he is. The only poll that matters is the one on election day.

The analogy also does not depend on whether it is a right or an obligation.

Here are the key points to the analogy since you Goopers are too logically impaired to figure it out:

1. scanning product = sending vote through bar code reader
2. failure to read bar code = undervote
3. scanning product again = machine recount
4. The product has not been charged if a person doesn't enter the price manually = the vote has not been counted unless it is examined by a human being
5. If you stop here and leave the store with the product you are a thief = Bush doesn't want all the votes counted so he is a thief
