According to a source unnamed in a Democratic Senator's office ( a liberal whom I have a very real problem with but whom I see at family affairs there was enough uncertainty about calling out the troops to enforce a Democrat "win" in FL against the US Supreme Courts ruling that it was decided that victory could not be assured and if one is planning a coup d' etat then one must be certain of a chance of winning.

In short they thought they would lose on the basis of one state, with loads of irregularities in counting the military vote.

Oh. My. Effing. G-d.

They ARE planning a coup.

Can you provide any pointers to any articles or web resources on this. Do you think a book could be written about this? Was their plan to over-rule the Supremes? That seems so far fetched.

I happened to be at a Republican Party event (back when I was actively supporting the party) in mid-November of 2000 when all this was going on.

One of the speakers got up and opened his remarks by stating something to the effect that Klinton had declared martial law and sent in his goons to help with the vote count.

The room got very quiet as his words sunk in-- I think most people there beleived what he said, at least briefly. After a few moments, the speaker said he was "just kidding".

Needless to say, there were a lot of pissed off folks. I don't think anyone else in the room really cared what else he had to say.
