They’re Still Counting: The world has changed, but the recount goes on

"This one line says it all."

Yes, it points back to the Supreme Court's concern about the lack of consistent standards during the recount. Once you get away from counting only clearly punched ballots, you enter the area of pure subjectivity and partisan manipulation of the results.

[PortugeeJoe]

Your vast majority has been shown in numerous polls to be less than 1/3rd and in some cases less than 20%.

What better time to proclaim loudly and often that Bush actually won?

No comment needed.

[Steve_Seattle]

The "vast majority" of about 25-30% pretty much corresponds to the number of partisan Democrats in the populace.

I guess you missed the inauguration.heh heh

[folklore]

Thank you! You are admitting the press is liberal. Dosn't it feel good that off your chest.

"...A lot has changed in the past week, but the fact that the vast majority of this country considers Bush illegitimate has not, and will not. The poll numbers reflect the taking of the high road by the Democrats. Nothing else..."

And yet, even though your boy "got more votes", etc., that wily coyote 'W' sits in the White House.

And the way he let algore remain stranded in Austria last week... Ouch!

That's got to make you feel so Impotent, LOL!

[VRWC_minion]

If this is true, why is not being shouted from the rooftops? What better time to proclaim loudly and often that Bush actually won? Oh, I forgot, he didn't.

Al, is that you ? Sorry the GOP scum stole the election from you Al, really.

Most people KNOW that Bush actually won. Moreover, as of one week ago today, now they know WHY he won. And they are glad. I've heard many Democrat friends admit that they are relieved Gore is not in the White House at such a time. The only reason I could get out of them was, "He's a wanker. And so was Clinton. He would have let loose one symbolic bomb then asked for his blow job!" The jig is up, pal. You are now in a minority of 13% in this country -- the rest know Bush is THE President, and a damn GOOD President at that! Perhaps you can now go to the 13%ers forum... and stop stinking up this one!

That is a great line.

"He would have let loose one symbolic bomb then asked for his blow job!"

That was just plain funny.

There were problems devising the best system for categorizing clues to voters' intent in ballots rejected during the original count.

Whatabunchaidiots. How are they "divining" clues? Who wants to bet that almost every rejected ballot ends up in AlGore's column?

You're quite the liar, aren't you?

[Denver Ditdat]

...illegitimate Repug President...

James Carville, is that you? Please leave Mary's computer alone, and tell your drooling handlers at the DumbAsCrap National Committee that your mission here has failed.

'Nuff Said!

. There were problems devising the best system for categorizing clues to voters' intent in ballots rejected during the original count.

IMHO, the problem was that any competent statistical analysis of the punch card ballots would prove that there was massive ballot tampering by Gore operatives and the purpose of this excercise was to pre-empt a serious investigation. The disturbing part is it almost worked and there is no penalty for voter fraud, even though Gore and company almost pulled off a successful coup via punch card ballots and other means of voter fraud on a nationwide scale.

Gore won approximately 600 counties out of 3000(Bush won 2400), yet he supposedly "won" the popular vote. If that doesn't fail the smell test, I don't know what does.
