"The only issue to me was Florida's supreme court ignoring both Federal and State Law."
Oh, is that all? =)
But seriously, although I'm not sure what to make of this mess, I am just grateful that Gore was pragmatic enough to concede without any further challenge.
If he had continued to object to the results, who knows what manner of constitutional crisis would have went down.
I often wonder where the Bush presidency would be today without the incidental legitimizer of 9/11. I am in no way implying a connection, but it seems to me that the tragedy gave the establishment a pretense to accept Bush and crew.
What will be interesting is how the history books of tommorow will comment on 2000 when we are no longer kicking.
