Every news media organization that obtained the ballots and conducted their own re-count agreed that Bush won.

Also, the 5-4 Supreme Court vote is a myth. There were two votes. The important one was whether or not the ever-changing criteria for what constituted a valid ballot violated the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. The vote was 7-2 in favor of yes (it was a violation). However, two of the 'Rat-appointed "justices" decided that that violation of the Constitution was not enough to stop the endless and fraudulent re-counts. The second vote, whether the re-counts should be stopped, was yes, 5-4.

Finally, the only reason the Florida vote was so close is because thousands of people in the Panhandle (heavily Republican) decided not to vote when the networks called the state for Gore, in spite of Bush leading at the time and the fact that the Panhandle was still voting due to its being in a different time zone. The state won't be so close this time, as they won't make that mistake again and will be sure to vote.

This second vote amazed me! In essence they are saying - yes we know that we are changing the rules AFTER THE VOTE - but oh well. It's amazing that 4 justices would let each county just make their decisions ON THE FLY with no standard whatsoever. (Hey Bob - this chad is dimpled, let's just assume that the person meant to push it all the way through). Like I said - when the government starts determing the voter's "intent" - we might as well raise the hammer and sickle.
