Not to mention demographic selectivity and the fact that the opinions of those who never respond to polls because they are too simplistic are not included. LOL

Since no standard was ever established. The fervent desire by liberal newspapers in Florida to declare Gore the winner, is nothing more than wishful thinking. The only objective votes taken in Florida show Bush won. (Twice). And this includes the overseas military votes thrown out by Gore's legal henchman. Tax cuts will go through because the American people are sick-and-tired of seeing the government demand more and more of their hard earned money, with little in return. The economy will recover. Stocks will too, although many of the internet stocks will not, (due to speculative bubble), and Democrats will have to dream up another problem to blame on Bush. Democrats are the party of vapid and desperate people, clinging to ideas which are inflexible and dying. Liberty is once again on the march in America. Freedom creates economic wealth, opportunity, environmental health, and stability. America's brightest days are still ahead.

Looks like who won depends on who counts the votes and how: "In a companion analysis of 9,150 so-called undervote ballots, the newspaper also found that Gore could not have picked up enough votes in Palm Beach County to defeat Bush Nov. 7 without counting every mark next to a candidate's name. An undervote occurs when a voter's intent is not irrefutably clear, and such ballots are not counted" . "Former Montana Gov. Marc Racicot, speaking for the Republicans, said: ``You're trying too hard to find a correlation here. You don't know these people, you don't know what they intended. You try to compile statistics and correlate them to a result that amounts to nothing more than speculation.'' "The Post review of overvotes, conducted between Jan. 17 and 29, illustrated the difficulty of hand recounts of punch-card ballots. Even the total number of overvotes was difficult to pin down." www0.mercurycenter.com
