Both parties complained liberally. I only meant that Bush was the one who resorted to the Supreme Court, and thus his inability to move on with the transition was the issue in play. As for the plague on both their houses thesis, the Gore campaign hit its nadir when, after making an issue of every vote being counted, even if technically invalid, they tried to suppress overseas ballots based on a trivial technicality. Gore protested that he was not behind it, but did not rebuke those who brought suit, or ask them to desist. It showed the essential hypocrisy of his rhetoric on the subject. I cannot say that any alleged Republican action struck me so badly.

Everyone knew that Gore could only win on the basis of divination. Finally, the public accepted the results, and gave Bush decent approval ratings from the start.
