>As such we have not an elected President but a Court Nominated president and that why the markets are going south in a hurry. You said it correctly.

Laws were not created to reward ignorance. Do we really need to revisit this subject again? Let us not forget who designed, approved, and instituted that ballot in the first place. In case anyone has a case of amnesia, it was a Democrat who decided on the ballot type, and ultimately approved by the Democratic party after an approval process. BTW...in case you were wondering why and how so many ill-fated "disinfranchised voters" could have been dooped, they were by their own party. It was the Democratic election board who pain stakingly went out of their way, much to their chagrin, to inform these "disinfranchised voters" to poke the # 2 hole instead of the # 2 candidate on the ballot, before the election throughout Palm Beach County. And, regarding the Bush Administration using the R word, prior to him being "elected", his team had every right to do so. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out, energy costs has risen some 500-600% in some areas of the country due to an administration who sat on their gludeous-maximus', and allowed foreign policy to deteriate, because the so called economy was riding on auto-pilot while AG fell asleep at the helm. Bush's team consists of "tax paying professionals" who served in the private sector and fully understands(as anyone should) that after losing more than 2 trillion in an eighth month period, and skyrocket energy costs, that one might expect to see a "possible" recession. Bush merely beat the former administration to the punch, by merely putting the blame where blame was due. The former administration rode in at an opportunistic time, while daddy Bush suffered, and Bush Jr wasn't about to allow the former administration to pin this slowdown on him. Anyone in their right mind would have done the same thing, if they wanted a chance of reelection in 2004. The former administration couldn't get out fast enough, before the walls caved in. Imagine Gore in office today with the Nasdaq down 62%, and energy prices still not completely controlled with his agenda of saving the environment, while men and women are being laid off in droves due to such a reckless abandonment of administration doing absolutely nothing about OPEC's practices, sky-rocketing health-care and education. It doesn't boast well for the image of the former administration. It's astonishing, how quickly their claim to fame of the wealth effect created over the last 8 years, is being vaporized within unprecedented time frames. Bush is to take no responsibility for this, but he will as all presidents do. Economies win elections, not character, and unfortunately Bush's father learned that the hard way. KM

Haim, that hanging chad stuff is ancient history now, no system is perfect, the us justice system is one of the best in the world, there is no perfect justice, the election was for all intents and purposes a deadlock, either dood would be the wrong guy depending on who u voted for. we must move on, chad would agree. your response has nothing to do with my post, the point of my post is that the election should have been a landslide in gore's favor given the recent history and it wasn't, it's not "the economy stoopid", it's the rising wedge on the nyse and the H&S on the nasdaq -g- b
