you know - refuse to concede even when it becomes obvious that she lost. Just like Gore did [ Reply | More

they counted and recounted and recounted the votes. He only "won" if they counted only certain votes. Kind of like what Hillary was trying to do with fla and mich. There is precedent here. I just find this whole thing fascinating and am wondering if she is still going to try to pull something. What do you think she will do? [ Reply | More

the popular vote is not how presidents get elected. The electoral college is. You can like it or not like it, but it is the rule. Thanks for the name calling BTW sweetie [ Reply | More

LOL! Nope. I lived in fla during that time and saw first hand what happened. I think perhaps you have been imbibing a little too much yourself. Wipe that orange mustache off [ Reply | More

I didn't say that. But there were some local news stories that differed from what got reported nationally. For ex - all those rumors about police keeping black people from the polls. What actually happened was a break in in a mostly black nabe. The police put roadblocks at both entrances to the nabe to try to cathc the robbers. That got blown out of proportion. ANother thing I noticed was if you watched CNN, there were more Gore supporters shown. If you watched Foxnews, more Bush people. If I went up there myself it was very even. [ Reply | More

some of us saw it as a stolen election, others saw the information as a sore loser... depends on your point of view... and if you think it's proper and right for the Supreme Court to make one-time never to be again referenced rulings... [ Reply | More

Look - I'm a democrat. I voted for Gore and for Kerry. I disagree with much of what Bush has done (although I don't think he is the antichrist) but I think it does the party no good to try to rewrite history. What the SC said is either count ALL the votes, or certify the election as is. Bush won. No matter how you look at it (assuming you are being honest) The dems need to deal with that and move on. Otherwise we look like whiners and backward thinking sore losers. That to me, is how Hillary looks right now. Let;s get over it and move on! [ Reply | More

the Supreme Court said count them all, but you have no time to do it, so stop... and never use this ruling again as a benchmark. if you are an atty, you know that has never ever happened in the history of this country, and the court is not to be used in that manner. It was a way to stop what had become a sad and ugly situation. i am a dem who is thrilled to be a BO supporter, and I don't begrudge HC anything. I just think we dems don't channel our anger - which imho is tighteous anger - well... it can look whining. but what happened was not right... [ Reply | More

well I'm not an atty so maybe I am missing some of the ramifications. But - the thing is, the votes were counted. I was reall really upset at Gore's attempts to not count all the votes (Sending his attys in to get many of the military votes thrown out etc) He used some really dirty tactics and I lost all respect for him. I think you are right that we don't channel our anger correctly. All the talk about hating Bush bothers me. I disagree with him. I don't hate him. I like BO too and am very happy he is where he is. Hillary holding on past any reasonable point is reminding me of Gore and what he did to the party. I think it's a shame [ Reply | More

I have to say that both sides were equally guilty in that mess. I also have to say that after watching this current election (non-freakin-stop) that I am horrified by how the media skews things. I seriously doubt Gore tried to get the military votes thrown out as much as his people may have said "IF you set this criteria for negating absentee votes, you have to apply them to military votes also". My final conclusion: shit happens and rather than constantly playing victim, we have to decide to either fix the damn problems or live with them. I cannot however, endorse or support Hillary's behavior during this campaign. [ Reply | More

personally I don't think the Hillary has stayed too long at the game. It's a process and a person has to have a certain stubborn drive to take on this job in the first place. I don't see her as harming anyone. if she's still fighting at the convention, then that's another story [ Reply | More

eh, it's past time for her to get out. SHe fought the good fight, but it's been obvious for awhile that BO is the winner. I don't think she is harming anyone but she is making the party look bad. Her claims of who would be the stronger candidate when it's pretty obvious who the people want, bother me. It sounds like she is saying "I know better what is good for you, Just trust me". Scary IMHO [ Reply | More

it is very cool. A friend of mine (older black man) said a few days ago how amazing it is that in his lifetime this could happen. He remembers having to sit in the back of the bus and sep waiting rooms etc. And now a black man is where BO is. Amazing no matter what party you are in ;-) [ Reply | More

A young black mother going in to vote with her daughter with her and she said that it was an historic day as she had the chance to vote for someone who looked like her no matter who she chose. she was clearly emotional and then i got all emotional too... it is a big day...
