larryb,

to say bush was appointed by the supreme court is just more liberal spin...the only thing the US supreme court did was prevent the Florida supreme court from overstepping its jurisdiction.

the Florida state constitution sends close elections to the state legislature for a tie breaking vote, gore didnt want to have that since the FL legislature had a republican majority, he knew he wouldnt have a chance there. so he tried to sidestep the FL constitution and went to the FL supreme court to get another recount...3 recounts later with 3 different creative ways of counting hanging, dented chads (and gore still losing after every recount) the US supreme court finally stopped that nonsense.

yes, it was close in Florida. and yes, i thank God gore lost!!

its sad that some people still cant let go and get on with their lives.

some of you guys really need to get outside and relax...and catch some fish!!
