I am not sure where you live. But I DO live in Florida, and was here durring that election. I do not see it as being stollen. There was ALOT of accusations made about what happened here, so they had to scrutinize ALOT of what was done. What I find the funniest is that if you lok back at the results, and what EACH of the politicians wanted done as far as the Florida votes; If we did what BUSH wanted, then Gore would have won the election. Instead, the votes and processes used were closer to what GORE actually wanted, so Bush won. Personally I find some SERIOUSLY ironic humour in that.

Since when has the risk of imprisonment or overthrow ever stopped leaders of other countries in the history of the world from doing the same thing? Just because it would be political suicide, doesn't mean that the attempt won't be made. I personally have come to the conclusion, and I am not saying this as a "he is just plain nuts" kind of way. But I honestly do feel that Bush has possibly developed some SERIOUS mental stability problems. I have watched many of his news conferences, and You can see some big changes in his demeanor and facial expressions. I truely think he may be losing it.
