If Bush indeed carries Florida it will be done so as a "mistake". 19,000 double votes disqualified, a hugely dispraportionate number of disqualified ballots than anywhere else in Florida. 20% of Buchanons vote came from Palm Beach, Pat Buchanon says that most likely those were unintended votes. Pat Buchanon is as far right as on can be without being Gary Bauer and has no intrest in seeing a DEMOcrat win the election. Kudos to Pat for being honorable. 50% of the socailist vote total was cast in Palm Beach, that would be the punch hole right beneath Gore's intended hole, again a dispreportionate amount for one district to carry. There are enough questions about these ballots to make "general assumptions" about the validity of the voting process there. Therefore G.W. Bush will win it knowing that in reality he won because of the unfourtunete mistakes of confused voters that had voted against him and had them disqualified. He will be vastly unpopular and the Republikans run the chance of looking as if they would take any victory no matter if the victory was intended or not. = No Win for america
If Gore goes to court about the mess in Florida it will draw the process out and leave an already weak and unlikeable canidate looking like a "win at all cost" canidate, making him very unpopular (more so than now) and inflaming the Republikan base to again start the "Witch hunt" only this time it will be 4 years of trying to nail Gore down for vague and iffy discretions, tying up congress and the goverment in a battle of partisanship. = No Win for america.
[/b]This just plian sucks and I really wish that SOMEONE, ANYONE would seek to put the best intrest of the people first and disregard party lines. This is why I have not been able to vote for DEMOcrats or Republikans with any faith for years. The two party system is not working for the people, the two party system only works for the parties.
