Now have a look again at the U.S. Constitution and take your seat next
to Hamilton, becauase you're now in favor of the Electoral College
system that got Bush into office on a minority vote...


Minority vote? Bush had a majority of the electoral vote, as is required by
the Constitution or the election goes to the House.

Now, Steven, I know that. But the popular vote, the one all Bush's
enemies keep harping on, is the one he got a bare minority on.

At the time, I could have handled Gore as President. (People aren't
really that stupid, America would have just given Gore a Congress that
hated him) It was the atrocious politically opportunistic behavior in
Florida, and all the swirling sophistries connected with it, which
made me a bit ill.

Here's to a clear and honorable decision, this time around, no matter
who takes the prize.

Rob, who will cast the vote but not hold out much hope for honor among
thiev^H^H^H^H^Hpoliticians...
