Given the statistical weightlessness of the result, and the fact that many complaints of abuse were not, in fact, pursued, I should say that it was an indecisive election, and was settled about as well as it could be.......

Please borrow a copy of the constitution and study the section having to do with the election of presidents. Then try to imagine a completely different election based on popular votes-one that we cannot, as always-even begin to speculate on the outcome of, because it did not occur. Then you can re-post more accurately with, "In the fantasy world of liberalism, our guy would have won, so we expect the rest of you to recognize that." Then you're right back at "feel good" home...

There was not a split decision. Texas Governor George W. Bush won the popular vote in the 30 states marked in red. 60% Cities, where a pack of cigarette can find hundreds of voters. Al Gore won 71% to Bush's 26% of the vote in mega - city population centers over 500,000 in size Bush won 60% to Gore's 38% of the vote in smaller population centers (10,000 to 50,000 in size) and 60% in rural areas. There was a clear choice of two populations with different perceptions. Those who live in places where you can see the environment and nature and folks are friendly gave President Bush a landslide. Places where the poor of maintained at a poverty level with a diet of victimology accepted a Gorey view of America. They chose Gore. This was not a split decision. Even in Florida the split occurred in the same way. The demographics of Florida is a microcosm of America. But Janet Reno send Ilian back and assured President Bush Was. This is a site with excellent breakdown of who voted how. mwhodges.home.att.net tom watson tosiwmee
