Lake Buena Vista, Florida (12/06/03)-- White House hopeful John Kerry says Florida is "where America's democracy was wounded." Kerry, other presidential candidates and Democratic leaders have accused President Bush of stealing the 2000 election in Florida.
They made the allegation at a gathering of 5,000 delegates at the Florida Democratic convention.
Congresswoman Carrie Meek brought activists to their feet by encouraging them to seek revenge.
The U-S Supreme Court halted the 2000 recount of Florida's ballots after five weeks, with Bush ahead of Gore by just 537 votes out of six (m) million cast. The state's 25 electoral votes put Bush in the White House.
Six presidential candidates are attending the gathering. Carol Mosley Braun is said to be ill. And Al Sharpton is hosting N-B-C's "Saturday Night Live."
Teresa hides behind her sign as the couple campaign.
Funny how they never mention the FLORIDA Supreme Court. (I wish I could find that old picture of SCOFLA where all the justices have donkey heads.)
