You can name names - do you not agree that stats can be manipulated? I don't understand how people can automatically assume that Jeb has something to do with Florida, but not realize that is is a
fact that stats can be manipulated. I think Gore and many of his supporters are grabbing at straws - during this whole prediction thing when the media had said Bush would carry the popular vote, and Gore the EC, Gore never once mentioned abolishing the EC. It has
always been a part of Bush's campaign. But whoa...wait a minute, now Gore is all about getting the EC abolished quick fast and in a hurry - which just goes to show that you don't go changing the rules in the middle of the game just because things aren't going your way. There are conspiracies for everything - including JFK Jr. being murdered so "they" only have Caroline left...once "they" kill her off then all the "secret" JFK documents can be released
If you want to look at a conpiracy record, how about all the conspiracies during the past 8 years? Or do you really and truly believe that Gore had no idea that money was dirty when he got it? At least if Bush does lose this election I will be able to continue fighting for what I believe in - I have more pride than to sit around trying to blame the sun, moon, and stars for what could've been.
I did see on our news last night that they interviewed several Palm Beach seniors, and they were totally PO'd about the stereotypes that they're all old and senile and couldn't read the ballot (and many of them did vote for Gore). They also talked about how if anything screwed this election up, it was the media reporting exit polls so early that discouraged a lot of voters, especially on the west coast. I would agree there.
Win or lose we are living history here - I definitely don't think we'll ever have to worry about an electoral college after this! Its funny because the first couple of days everyone was glued to the tv and radio...now its become the joke of the day: "Anybody know if we have a president yet?"
Its not a sin to move to Europe or anywhere else. If you don't want to be here anymore than go - you have that right. Its just like us Southerners who get tired of hearing from Yankees how great it is up north, how much better this is, how much faster that is - if its so much better, and it makes you happy, then head on out - we "ain't" stopping ya!
