$900,000 bucks on the recount. Here's my letter to the editor of my local paper (they were part of the consortium). I sent it in yesterday and they published it today.
Doesn't the consortium feel a little foolish now? Months wasted, money thrown away, just trying to prove that George Bush is not the legitimate President.
And what did you get for all your money? NOTHING!!!! Playing by the rules, Bush was, is, and always will be the legitimate candidate elected in the 2000 Presidential race.
In trying to bolster your partison bias, you have accomplished just the opposite. You have taken away any fuel the Democrats could have employed in questioning Bush's legitimacy during the 2004 election.
I find it so ironic that your study is released at a time when George Bush has approval ratings higher than any other President has ever enjoyed.
Futility, thy name is media.
