More republican dribble. Had we used a half-way modern voting system, Gore would have won. He had the popular vote.

Not everyone is as a stupid as you are.
If they were, they'd run out of nobel prizes.

The fact that you consider Bush's clear and legal victory a coup is itself bitterness. Do you grind your teeth at night?

You have a bizarre need to define other people's feeling and opinions. It does simplify your life - you don't actually have to listen to what anybody actually says.

No so. Every single study of the election by groups and newspapers on both sides of the political spectrum and of all of the contested ballots in Florida concluded that Bush won, hands down. Thank God and the stars that we don't have a popular vote in the United States! The popular vote is too easily swayed by hyperbole, demagoguery and histrionics.

Untrue. The group of newspapers that did a recount found that in 6 of the 9 recount scenarios, Gore would have won. But none of that is actually relevant, since the Supreme court, aborted the election process and gave the presidency to Bush.

You got a source for that?

Not true, the surpreme court said the way gore wanted to cherry-pick recount counties would be unfair, they had to recount the whole state.

Oh, please! "The study's key result: When the consortium tried to simulate a recount of all uncounted ballots statewide using six different standards for what constituted a vote" That's the key part. Democrats wanted to change the law! They wanted to use different methods of counting votes (other than the ones specified by law) and pick the method that elected Gore. That's why the Supreme Court stepped in. The Democratic Party wanted to illegally alter the methods used in order to put Gore into the presidency. Every single recount that actually followed the law showed Bush a clear winner.
