Furthermore, was Bush lucky that Gore lost in his own home state of Tennesee? Or was it simply Bush being more in touch with the attitudes of that state's voters?
And if you want to talk about Bush's luck, I don't think that calling the state for Gore while the polls were still open in the panhandle was very lucky. (The networks called it for Gore only about 36 days too early).
Finally, this writer conveniently ignores the efforts by the Gore team to disqualify the military absentee ballots. These votes were disqualified, not because the voters who cast them were confused or that the ballots were improperly executed, but because they did not have proper post markings. To me this does not make Bush lucky, this makes Gore evil.
First, the author distorts the Florida vote to perpetuate the Democrat myth of a stolen election.
Second, he ignores the fact that the people and the states elect the President through the Electoral College (it's not the popular vote of one state).
And last, he ignores the blatant voter fraud perpetrated by the Democrat party.
The author of this article is an idiot trying to appear intellectual. He has taken a chain of events and ascribed them to "luck". Luck is a random event that favored you (such as winning the lottery). All he has described is the reality of "actions have consequences".
But, then again, Democrats don't believe in this. They believe, not matter the outcome of their actions, it's never their fault. And they believe Republicans only succeed because of "luck".
There's a different word for that attitude; Pathetic!
