There were NONE. Do not know what you remember but there was not one paper that said Gore would have won. ALL the left-wing democrat papers admitted that Bush won including USA Today, Miami, Times, and all others.

See the article I link to in post 19, 5th paragraph. They confirm Bush's victory, but note that there was one method, "advocated by many Republicans," by which Gore came out three votes ahead.

Seems like I remember reading that the only way Gore could have won was counting all the overvotes as well as the undervotes and *also* assigning him votes where the voter voted strictly Democrat but then voted for Buchanon ( going back to the poorly aligned voter form issue ) which obviously never would have held up in court. There was no way Gore could have won the election.

You said "Look at Paragraph 5 in you post, I did: Ain't NO way. I was then and still am a Florida Republican and I can remember no one asking for that. This is another lie by the left-wing anti-American Press.

The method "advocated by Republicans" involved counting the over-votes. The "advocacy" was more along the lines of trying to draw a comparison between absurdities by saying, "if you're going to count the under-votes, why not count the over-votes too?" In oral arguments before the Supreme Court, the Gore side was asked this question and rejected the idea of counting over-votes. Ironically, that's the only way they would have won.
