I'm sure plenty!
I remember watching and seeing the totals and Bush was ahead and they called it for Gore- I turned to my wife in total disgust, it was very confusing to say the least.

Exactly. I remember seeing the scroll at the bottom of the screen indicating that Bush was ahead in Florida by 51% to 47% when the state was called for Gore. I was stunned by that and couldn't understand how that could be. Also, when Gore finally conceded, he was down over 60,000 votes. But in a matter of an hour, that lead evaporated. Thus the famous "don't get snippy" phone call to Bush. The fix had already been in. His initial concession was all show. His operatives were already on the plane heading for Florida to begin the election fiasco while he was giving his so-called "concession" to Bush.
