Very good spin, but please do not forget that this country is based on one legal person, one legal vote. It lasted for more than 200 years so far and it has the best shot of lasting for as long as the human race will be around. What ever else anyone put out there, it is just lie, damn lie and statistical lie! It's so obvious that Gore's base has lower economic bearing. But that does not make their individual votes any less potent than the rich's ones. The beauty of the one legal person, one legal vote is that no matter how down trodden you are, once in a regular while some politician, who may come from the upper crust and whose conciousness rarely registers your existence, comes knocking for your vote. So, whether you're a renter living in a 350 square foot box hole or you're a aristocratic landowner whose holding may spread more than what the eye can see, you're the same as any other voter comes election day in terms of how many legal vote you can cast. I sincerely apologize to most people on this thread for having to type the above basic principals. No one should have to do that if no one else tried to blow so much smoke to blur others' vision.
