Dan, <The last election was basically "Forest Gump" vs. "the Rain Man"> Where does Nader fit in? He's the one that actually gave the election to Bush, remember? ;-) Tenchusatsu

The last election was basically "Forest Gump" vs. "the Rain Man", and a few more Americans voted for the rain man, than Forest, but they gave it to Forest, anyway. Some justices will do just about anything to gain the chief justice position. 1) We don't elect presidents by popular vote; 2) The popular vote was a statistical dead heat, NOT a victory for Gore. Gore did not WIN the popular vote by a significant margin. It was a tie. There could easily have been enough errors in counting combined with the effects of the media calling off the election early in Florida to have made it go the other way. It was a tie. Some people just aren't good speakers, and he has gotten somewhat better, since he's been in office. No question about it; Bush is a horrible speaker. It is frustrating to listen to him. It is unfortunate that some commentators believe this correlates with intellect (which it doesn't). He gave one amazingly good speech, but other than that, the guy a truly bad speaker.
