Russ,this is just an observation,so please don't taker offense to anything I might say,but,aren't you a little one sided and partisan on this issue? I mean it seems you will not listen to reason even when there is proof . You sound like a very thickheaded republican. Don't take offense because at times I am a thick headed democrat,but,you need to view this from a different perspective. Maybe that of a bystander with no party affiliations or opinions. You are talking about a vote difference of a couple hundred votes in a state where the person runnings brother is governor and you are acting as if Al Gore has no leg to stand on,and as if he stands no chance. I mean,Bush was berating and pleading with Gore not to get the courts involved but look,now that Gore is GOING to pull ahead,Bush HAS to take this to court because Jeb couldn't even steal the state for him. This situation is ludicrous and,mark my words,there will be eventual investigations and hopefully some convictions if there was any illegal goings on. If it were Gore in the wrong I would not respond at all,unlike most republicans,because I would want to know who actually and RIGHTFULLY won by the peoples vote.
