Is it not true that both camps are running in and out of the courts, that people are already in the streets attacking the other side in protest. That the rest of the world only see's a country claiming to be the best, not able to count some simple votes. In the end it may not bring the political wall down, but whoever get in really does not have a mandate to do anything. Bush is not the popular winner, And Gore really looks like just missing out. And the rest of the world is losing respect for the US political process day by day. Who may think it is nothing, but taking away the media crap, the underlining facts remain that it is stupid what is going on. (No Offence) and the US people think so too. CNN told me so, along with all the other news channels I watch. Who will respect "let em Fry" George Bush who ran on his daddy's coat tails. He is a joke. At least Gore was Vice President to "Lets Play hide the Cigar" Clinton. I would prefer Gore to Bush, but it really ain't that great a pickings.
