Anyone notice that the President Elect Bush electors held true? Who was it holding out hope that there might be traitors? (in the dems I guess they are used to that) Well not to worry, all you disenfranchised folks, JJJakson will be having "rallyes" all across the country...LOLOL...until the new President is inaugurated. So you can go out and wave signs and scream until you are blue in the face. (can I say blue?)

Listen, you can't have it both ways. if the undervotes and over votes in FL are, in goronic logic, not considered to have been counted, then the overvotes and undervotes in every other part of this country can not be considered to have ever been counted. 2.5 to 3 million such votes were thrown out in the course of the last election nationwide. So using goronic logic, neither Gore nor Bush can ever claim to know who won the popular vote. Now I'm perfectly prepared to concede that Gore "won" the popular vote because it is irrelevant. We elect by EC voting. And the strategy to capture enough EC votes does not necessarily mimic a strategy to capture the popular vote. I don't think we will ever know for sure who won in FL. It was simply too close to call and the technology employed was not up to the task. JLA
