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, Tim Frohlick Tim Frohlick , an ex-Canadian who rather dislikes Chretien and his cronies. On November 27, 2000 at 01:05:25, Miguel Arrospide wrote: >Gore is the real president.
