The first is obviously her opinion; the second attempts to deceive people who don't read The New York Times, the Washington Post, or USA Today, to name three.

Are you serious?
Recounts using about 24 different methodologies put Gore ahead in half and Bush ahead in half. And a last recount of the entire state put Gore ahead. All reported in the New York Times.
So which is worse? The unsubstantiated, intentionally baseless, inflammatory, self-congratulating, populist-nonsense opinion ... or the actual fact?
Thankfully you weren't serious.
