Gore or Bush?

[Jedieb]

Well the Florida Supreme Court deadline has come and gone and Harris has just certified the election for Bush. I believe the certified margin was somewhere in the 530s. She ignored some amended returns from Palm Beach, around 130 votes, because she felt she couldn't accept the manner in which they were turned in. Palm Beach has around 1,000 votes left to go through and it's anybody's guess as to whether or not they'll come up with the 400 or so needed to overtake Bush. There are at least 3 court challenges looming tomorrow. This next week will be a legal festivus. Frankly, I'd like to see Gore concede, but it looks as if both sides are continuing to dig in for their legal trench warfare.

I'm not sure what will happen next. Even if ANOTHER extension is granted how can either side live with the results? If Gore pulls ahead, will Bush walk away or ask for recounts in Republican counties? If Gore still trails after Palm Beach will he seek yet another round of recounts in Broward and/or Miami? Pay attention to this next week, because this is a preview of the next 4 years. I just wish they'd hurry up and certify our next 1 term president and be done with it.

I think David Letterman summed it up best:

Gore isn't President. Bush isn't President. Let's just leave it that way.

I think BOTH candidates have shown off their true colours and I'm just glad that this is occuring in the US and not down here.

When Jedieb started this thread, he said "Gore or Bush? No, not the title of a Wes Craven porn film..." Well, it looks as if someone picked up on his idea. Yesterday I got an e-mail titled "Gore or Bush" from WetSexyMonica@hotmail.com (or something) and inside it said:

Want Bush?

and proceeded to name all sorts of porn that you'd get when you join the site

Want Gore?

and proceeded to name all sorts of sick @#%$ you'd see when you joined the site (leather, whips, etc.)

Forget the election and get an erection!! (which I thought was pretty clever)

[Jedieb]

Damn, that was my idea!! Maybe I should ask Gore if he could spare a lawyer and sue?

New update: I'm not 100% certain but I believe the Supreme Court has ruled in favoour of Bush.

Gore's chance of becoming President are fast slipping away.

I heard an interesting tidbit on MSNBC yesterday. Right now courts across the state of Florida and the nation are dealing with no fewer than 44 cases involving the election. To put this in legal terms;
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$

Every time I think I see light at the end of the tunnel I see a lawyer open a briefcase instead.
