Random thoughts dealing with the election. * Mel Carnahan, despite having died in a plane crash a few weeks ago, was elected Senator from Missouri. Say it with me: Lucky stiff. * This just in: the news services have declared that I won the state of Florida's 25 electoral votes. * And no one talks about the fact that a senate seat in New Jersey was bought and paid for by a rich man... who's a Democrat! Rich Democrats exist? * Dub had a 3 point lead in Oregon for most of the night, so I'm calling it for him, making it 260-253 Gore. The networks never did. After Florida, I don't blame them. * This just in: the news media outlets have declared that Anthony de Jesus won the state of Florida's 25 electoral votes. * People, people, a Bush presidency is NOT the end of the world. We survived Grant, we survived Nixon, we survived Clinton, we survived Carter... and besides, will the new Prez really be able to louse up the economy? * CNN easily had the funniest pictures of the candidates. Bush looked like a complete idiot, and Gore looked like a soon-to-be-convicted felon. * This just in: the news media outlets have declared that Mike Hoey-Lukakis won the state of Florida's 25 electoral votes. * Hmmm... Michael Lukakis... nah. * Strangely enough, I had people from both sides of the political spectrum saying they'd flee to Canada if their man lost. See, this is the kind of poor sportsmanship we just don't need. * Hillary and New York. A perfect match. * This just in: the news media outlets have declared that Chip Beall won the state of Florida's 25 electoral votes. * Hey, here's the mandate: the American people couldn't or wouldn't tell the two candidates apart. * Just when politics couldn't get worse, the public opinion reaches its Nader. * Think of it this way, Democrats: Pat Buchanan didn't win. * If the reports are true about Bill Daley's complaint of voter fraud, Shakespeare couldn't have written it better. * This just in: the news media outlets have declared that Andrew Yaphe won the state of Florida's 25 electoral votes. * And finally: remember, people, all politics is local. As long as your representative is voted, bought, and paid for, government will not change. Andy Goss speaking for himself, a Nader voter
