Ted, <The FLA electoral system was flawed and corrupted.> Flawed, yes. Corrupted, no. The latter is yet another conspiracy theory. In nearly half the FLA counties, there were miscounted ballots in favor of the candidate who's partisanship reflected that of the county and counters in which the counting was being done. Bush was the net benefactor. Again, the FLA electoral process was flawed and corrupted. ted

Last weekend, the N.Y. Giants blew a 24-point lead, and that allowed one bad call to decide the entire game. Likewise, Gore blew all of the advantages he had in 2000, even failing to carry his home state of Tennessee. That allowed the election to be decided by a bunch of "pregnant chads." TN is a minor state in the electoral college. The issue that hurt Gore the most was the environmentalists who went for the third party candidate...I think it was Ralph Nader. Gore lost millions of votes......had he not, Bush wouldn't be president. The second biggests issue was how things were handled in FLA. ted
