Bush wins - AGAIN! He's won the Florida election FOUR times now! Must be a record?????
``We are a nation of laws and the presidential election of 2000 is over,'' Gore said Sunday in a prepared statement. ``Right now, our country faces a great challenge as we seek to successfully combat terrorism. I fully support President Bush (news - web sites)'s efforts to achieve that goal.

Said Bush press secretary Ari Fleischer (news - web sites): ``The election was settled a year ago, President Bush won and the voters have long since moved on.''

I was hoping they would have found Al Gore was the definite winner. I love to hear Dumocrats whine.

If you recall BEFORE election night Drudge bragged how he would release VNS Poll data BEFORE the networks did.
Sure enough, before the 2nd time zone in FL closed he "announced" Gore won.
Then Fox, according to O'Reilly, was the 1st network to "announce" Gore won before the FL polls had closed.
On election night I was at a friends house while she was on the State of FL election return site,
it showed Bush ahead while Fox and everyone else said Gore won.
I wonder how many Bush votes were lost by the 2nd time zone due to Drudge, Fox etc.

"The goal of the news organizations was not to learn who really ``won'' Florida..... The aim was to provide a valuable historical record...." = Total BS

As a FL observer volunteer in PB County, I san say, having seen hundreds of these ballots up close and personal a few things about this appalling article:

This article reveals the relentless leftist agenda of teh subversive Lefties who did this so-called "study."

The truth is you cannot caount "over-votes" becasue the voter voted TWICE, and that would require psychic posers to determine the "voter's intent."

Nor can you count under-votes" becasue that means the person never VOTED for the office, period, which reasoning, besides breaking the law, extrtapolates voter intent from....NOTHING at all!

Bush actually won for the eighth time by my count...

They didn;'t count the OVERSEAS MILITARY VOTES WHICH WERE THROWN OUT by arbitrary fiat!

Nor did they count the 10,000 to 15,000 FL Panhandle votes & voters disenfranchised stolen by the fraudulent TV Networks deliberate false call before the FL Panhandlle closed.

"But questions about the uncounted votes lingered. "

So, what else is new? The Florida recount is a dim memory and pales in light of 9/11.

"Gore sought a recount of a relatively small portion of the state's disputed ballots while the review indicates his only chance lay in a course he advocated publicly but did not pursue in court - a full statewide recount of all Florida's untallied votes.

Gore asked for a recount in predominantly Democratic precints only. A recount of the entire state still would have had Bush as the winner. Rarely, if ever, has a recount reversed an election. I recall that the Bush/Cheyney team were willing for a recount of the entire state but that Gore was not willing for that to be done. Gore knew that a recount would have given Bush an even wider margin. He wanted only the 4 democratic precints recounted because he knew fraud and cheating by his operatives had been put in place.

Take a look at DU. They have started to eat their own in regards to CNN's conerage of the recount. Calling it the "Conservative News Network".
