lol. Why should I rely on Bugliosi, former LaLa Land prosecutor, writing for The Nation, one of the most ultra liberal magazines in the country? Or you, for that matter? Read a real treatise on the subject, and educate yourself. Try Breaking the Deadlock: The 2000 Election, the Constitution, and the Courts by [Judge] Richard A. Posner pup.princeton.edu Reviews: "Arguably the most accomplished legal scholar of the past half century, the prolific Posner . . . dissects some of the inaccuracies, distortions, and surprisingly shallow understandings of the legal and factual raw material displayed by many other strident critics of Bush vs. Gore."--Stuart Taylor, National Journal "A major contribution to the debate about the case. . . . A pragmatic bottom line and some plain-spoken, even pungent language."--Frank Davies, Miami Herald "A leading view on this controversial subject. Highly recommended for general readers with knowledge of American politics or constitutional law."--Library Journal "Posner is the most mercilessly seditious legal theorist of his generation."--Larissa MacFarquhar, The New Yorker "A book woven together by sharp and sometimes prickly opinions . . . An interesting, provocative book."--Monica Davey, Chicago Tribune "For Poser . . . perhaps the country's widest-ranging and most prolific legal thinker . . it is not enough to demonstrate that the Florida court went badly astray. . . . As he argues, with characteristic verve and intelligence, there are still deeper justifications for the Supreme Court's intervention."--Gary Rosen, Commentary "[An] elegant essay on presidential politics, constitutional law, and election reform. It is both cool and judicious and mostly fun to read."--Roger Fontaine, The Washington Times "Richard Posner's Breaking the Deadlock is a contribution to the extensive literature that is emerging on this most unusual election and its aftermath. Posner's experience as a federal appeals court judge shines through the book, and gives it a different dimension from those many volumes by academics and journalists that form most of the literature of the 2000 election."--Phillip John Davies, Times Higher Education Supplement ----------------- And here's another take on Bugliosi: "Irrespective of the results by the newspapers we know that more Floridians intended to vote for Al Gore than George Bush on November 7, 2000." -Vincent Bugliosi Referring to the NORC study - before it was finished. This is a particularly odd statement. Without any evidence, Bugliosi claims that more people intended to vote for Gore than for Bush in Florida, even though Bush received more votes. He further suggests this will be true even if the NORC study points towards the other direction - ("Irrespective of the results...") Bugliosi's statement is a clear example of how powerful and misleading Gore's campaign was. People just assume more citizens attempted to vote for him than for Bush. Yet there is little evidence to suggest this is true. florida2000election.com
