Miguel,

Read my second post!

The only thing that matters now is if the Clinton Administration will do
something stupid again i.e. obstructionism.

You live in a constitutional Republic, not in an anarchistic chaotic democracy.
The constitution allows and prescribes "electors".  The electors will vote in
Florida and since the election has gone in favor of G.W. Bush all 25 electoral
votes will go to Bush.

I have thought in the past that the "electoral college" was archaic and unfair
but now I am not so sure any more.  You can see what would happen if the 350,000
votes out of almost 100,000,000 for Gore and Bush were contested and a "fair and
accurate" handcount and re-handcount and re-handcount and litigation in all 50
states would go on for years.

Bush is the winner,
