You're assuming that only Miami-Dade will be counted...there are plenty of undercounts in the Republican counties...in fact many more than in Dade...<g>

Won't it be nice when a full recount of the State of Florida reaffirms Bush...

windjamb,

You are way out on a limb.

Next the D's will win control of the House and Senate in the '02 elections. The D's will then start impeachment proceedings. Bush will lie during depositions and we then....

Remember, the Republicans are the party of the small minded and petty. Not the Democrats. A vindictive version of Lott or Delay would be stifled by wiser heads and the Democrats would simply hector poor Prince George as a failed aristocrat for the '02 to '04 period. Democrats have an uncanny habit of learning from history. What is to be gained from an impeachment proceeding? Scorn heaped on the impeachers by intelligent and moderate observers like me. (CB, time for you to flip out, yet again, as if there's anyone left who believes in you sincerity regarding anything. Vendit, go into your attack mode dog.) I've put the more immoderate members of your ilk on ignore, which is what I sincerely hope to do.

Windy, I don't know if you caught Garrison Keillor's sendup to stolen elections on A Prarie Home Companion today. If not, it repeats tomorrow on most NPR stations. The "Guy Noir" sketch is where Garrison lowers the 16 inchers and blasts Bush as the moron he certainly is. Have you noticed that twit is almost reduce to stuttering at this point? "Um, uh, er, ah, ehh, uh, wulllll here on the ranch...follow me I am a leder***.". Disgusting, but OTOH, it does have a certain Disneyland quality about it.

Anyway, I've been told I'm wasting my time here on this political thread. It started out so nobly. Remember? We all wanted to understand how the majesty of the law would add to the fair and reasonable adjudication of this dispute. Boy, were we naive.

Best, Ray

I assume he's figured out by now what ridicule is. It's in his dictionary, just above smary.
