Party..your microscopic analysis of every conceivable nuance in this election is cool, but ultimately exasperating....and limiting this black bit to Florida and not the home of racial profiling...say New Jersey, New York and those other racist yankee states is a might unfair...most of us fair minded people on this board know that this happens all over america...people get the shaft...you contine to be patently unfair and in some cases downright insulting to us Floridians...I find more of a stain on american history when cops go ramming broomsticks up someones ass...now that's embarassing...or Rodney King...now, that's embarassing...I guess we just have to disagree occasionally, don't we doc

I find it very interesting that Gore--the proponent of the underdog--has zero female and/or minority lawyers on his team. He doesn't even have any female and/or minority lawyers producing his spin on TV. Guess he doesn't put his money where his mouth is when his own interests are at stake. M

Like it or not the following is also true. 1. Complaints were made about the voting machines in the Democratically controlled precincts. The democrats did nothing about the complaints. 2. The ballots were incorrectly filled out or so stated the democrats. The blacks defranchised themselves by not following the rules. But with our permissive society and liberal thinking, it is always someone else who is at fault. Democrats/blacks, blame yourselves, not the Republicans. Only by changing the rules after the fact could Gore have a ghost of a chance of winning. Seems that their ploy of cheating by stacking the deck did not work. TTT

The Black voters in Duval live in tiny precincts. As per population, the undervote there remains mostly in Bush's favor. Check it out. Someone must have poste these figures to you, as per the Wall Street Journal by now. Furthermore, many races in many states, as I recall, were called early only to be taken back later...and waiting ensued. Do you rely on the same explanation in these cases as you would with the butterfly, exit polling, and etc., in Palm Beach and Duvall(possibly moot by the numbers as per above)? I'm not saying my notion of estimated margins makes sense, but just doubting that your explanation is consistent with various countrywide events of election night. Dan B
