Bush never whined and complained. Gore did..much like Team Romney is now.

If Bush team hadn't complained to the US supreme Court we would have president Gore and it would have been legal...the Florida Supreme Court could have handed the state to Gore legally.

There was nothing “shady” about what occured today in WV. No one force these delegates to vote the way they did. They were asked... Last time i checked that wasn’t illegal.

Clintonesque definitely. Like I said McCain and his supporters have a lot in common.

Partisan..

Do you really believe what you’re saying here..or trying to spin it to make it sound all nasty and evil here..

Lets go over this one more time..since you clearly failed recent US History.

Bush won Florida—won in the 1st and 2nd recounts done..was certified the winner.

All the while..Sore/Loserman began whining about things like chads and military ballots that didnt have a return address on them...Gore whines more..saying there should be a new election..or that he should be declared the winner..just because...

Gore whines to the Florida Supreme Court..to out of wholecloth to create new arbitary, Election standards to favor him..the Florida Supremes decide to give AlGore what he wanted.

Bush then exercised his LEGAL right to ask the Supreme Court to correct the clearly erronous decision of the Florida Supremes..which..by a 7-2 vote they did...

Now..getting back to what occured in WV..Basically..you’re taking the AlGore route now..

Should Romney just be “given” the WV delegates now just “because”...Should their be a “new election”?

The rules of the WV convention were VERY clear.. Candidate MUST get a result of 50.1 of the delegates in order to win. ALL of the candidate failed to do so on the first ballot... A second ballot was taken..people were free to vote as they wished..and Romney again came up short..and Huckabee got the needed 50.1 threshold.

Where is the subterfuge? Where is the quid pro quo? Answer..ITS NOT THERE.. so..again...QUIT WHINING.. go try to win some states...
