I most certainly do not think W won Florida fair and square. I do not think I ever said that. If I did, I was wrong because the R's, particularly that Harris woman, behaved horribly IMO. What I thought I said was W won the court case Gore initiated because clearly there was no equal protection under the law - votes were being counted one way in one place and another way in another place - there was no set standard that I or the Court saw. How can that be fair? AND - does we allow the lack of fairness there as a way of compensating for the lack of fairness shown by the R's? In the end, I blame Gore for that (cherry picking) and everything else we talked about. So, my point is Gore shot himself in the foot in the 2000 Florida debacle and, as Gore readily and correctly admitted, once the Court determines it, that is it - that is the law - like it or not. But, when I say that, people miss my point and think I am sauting to W, which I clearly am not and never have.
But, enough of this tommyrot and subterfuge
Let's get back to my original question!!!!!
Will the same people who complained of the electoral college in 2000 be so ready to complain again if Kerry wins the electoral vote but not the popular vote?
I am still waiting for anyone to answer that!!!!!!
