Thanks for your opinions everyone. Good job with the debates. Everyone here has made some excellent points. History will show which ones were correct (and I'm by no means implying that they will be mine).
Anyway, please read the "Final Thread" that I started a little while ago before I came back to this one. Thanks again and good luck with the election. I think we're ALL going to need it.
BTW krs, I respectfully disagree with your last post. (I couldn't resist one last jab)

The votes have been counted over and over again. And he's still whining. It's easy to see why the people of Tennessee rejected him as one of their own. He's an embarrassment to them.
You're 100% right - the people have voted. And they voted for Gore - he won the national popular vote.
You're almost right, but not quite. Gore won the popular vote, but in the end he will lose the electoral vote. And the electoral vote is the bag that holds all the marbles.
I'm almost right??? You're the one that said 'the people have spoken' . Silly me, I thought 'the people referred to the 'popular vote'.

Actually, barbarake, I don't think that your statement that Gore won the popular vote IS accurate. In some states where the number of absentee votes is less than the difference between the two candidates, and the counting of the absentee votes will make not difference in how the state's electoral votes go THE ABSENTEE BALLOTS ARE NOT GOING TO BE COUNTED.
I think the whole damn election should be recounted.
