ROFLOL!

You go girl! Tie up the democRAT nomination for a few more weeks. Lets see how the SCOFLA decide to rewrite the law when it is two democRATs fighting it out.

THIS JUST IN: Janet Reno promises to send more children to Casto,
if she wins.

"She's extremely upset about the disenfranchisement," said Reno spokeswoman Nicole Harburger. "People were not allowed their right to vote ... That's unacceptable to her."

Where is Jessy in all this? I am sure somehow this is Bush's fault. George Bush.

[jwalsh07]

Well, let's hope she has a fool for a client.

[VaBthang4]

It's better for us if she steals it from McBride...then Jeb'll really stomp her.

"Reno contemplates..."

I am laughing out loud right now. In our house, if a family member is in the bathroom and taking a long time about it; we call that "contemplating." Janet Reno and toilet priorities do amount to pretty much of the same thing --- contemplating.

First Gore now Reno. These people are cut from the same molds EXCEPT this time it is between two Dems...ya gotta throw your head back and just laugh and laugh and laugh. They are something else. Unbelieveable...just unbelieveable. It should be interesting though...so pull up a chair and "pass the corn."

Look a little farther down. Terry Mc is already blaming Bush. He is in serious damage control mode now. The operative Pubbie phrase will be

"These were Democratic voters, in Democratic counties, in elections managed by elected Democratic Election Supervisors. Bush ordered the polls to stay open, but the Democratic Election Supervisors failed to advise their precinct staff. If the Democrats can't manage to operate an election, how can they manage a state government"

Learn it, love it, live it.

No matter how this turns out, Jeb Bush benefits. A certain percentage of Dem voters will feel like they wuz robbed and stay home.

[cubreporter]

Sorry, meant to say cut from the same CLOTH not mold. :)

I noticed that McAullife is going down to Florida in an effort to talk Janet into withdrawing. I doubt that he has much of a chance. Janet knows this is her last chance. She will never be featured at a Democratic convention. She will never be anything again.

She figures she has nothing to lose. McAulliffe and the DNC have nothing to offer.

I look for Janet to go all out to win. It would be fun to see this drag out like the Presidency. It will be interesting to see whose side the Florida Supreme Count is on. It would be wild if they come down on Janets side.

"People were not allowed their right to vote ... That's unacceptable to her."

Y'mean they actually checked IDs for illegal aliens and convicted felons this time???

[alaskanfan]

Ain't it the truth? This is exactly why I would love to see Al and Hillary run against each other in a demo primary. Just think of all the lost documents that would suddenly be found.

Those libs are such wankers.

Here in Miami the 10pm news just said that the score now stands at McBride 45% and Reno 44% with 11% going to Jones the spoiler. Bur for Jones, Reno would've taken the black vote in a walk and won handily. THIS is better! Janet, ever the whining democrat is thinking of going the Gore legal route since "not all the votes were counted." If we're really lucky the ensuing fracas will rip the democratic party into teensy bloody pieces.

[Joee]

Ah, let the dead rest in peace, Janet!!!

"It creates a constitutional issue about the election because the polling places that open at 7 a.m. are open for 14 hours and the ones that open late at 11 a.m. are open for 10 hours. So you still don't have equal footing," he said

And we all know that if Jeb had instead done what Jones is suggesting, Jones would be leading the Democrats in whining how "Some precincts would let those who got off work late vote until 9pm, while those that close at 7pm put late workers there at an unfair disadvantage."

[FreedomPoster]

I saw a TV news report on this, and saw a polling place with touch screens. I must say, I *really* don't trust a voting method that fails to leave behind a physical artifact that can be re-counted. Databases can literally be changed at the touch of a button - it's what they're designed to do. Do you trust the security of software vote tabulation?

[Cicero]

It's dejà vu all over again, all but the chads. Go to it! Lay on, MacDuff!

[jwfiv]

A little lame-ass Demwit infighting is a prospect that cheers me up. Girl fight!

[gov_bean_ counter]

The earlier reports said even Janet had a tough time with the push button machines. I'm thinking she would have been better off if she had just brought someone with her to hold her finger still.
