Re: Ka-ons and revoting

This has little or no qb relevance. You're warned
in advance.

I find it problematic that many
issues are being raised now.

The ballot was used
without incident in other elections. If it was so
horrific, why was it not brought up in previous elections?
Why, in fact, was it brought up when Florida suddenly
became close? Where was Wexler on Tuesday afternoon? Why
weren't people in Palm Beach complaining
earlier?

If Mfume was such in a knot about about voter fraud,
why didn't he bring his complaints up until the
election was in doubt on Wednesday?

Why are so many
Democrats now in favor of abolishing the popular vs.
electoral college vote now than before the election - when
it was assumed that Bush might win the popular and
lose the electoral college? Uh, Bush and Gore knew the
rules and theoretically campaigned based on them -
football teams don't start saying that scoring should be
different when they outgain the other team in yardage and
lose.

Why is there so much talk about Bush not having a
majority when Clinton did not have it in '92 or
'96?

John Ashcroft couldn't camapign against a man who had
just died, and he conceded after having lost a close
race - no lawsuits, no whining. Who knew - maybe the
Republicans have a little more compassion and than kindness
than the Democrats for once.

This isn't
Schadenfreude (Jessie, K, Tricia - spelling help?) on my part.
It does, however, sound suspiciously like sour
grapes on the part of Gore.

P.S. Buchanan HATES
the Republican Party. And the feeling is more than
mutual.
