Completely off-topic and I will not be upset if it gets deleted. But:
It's time for hardcore Democrats to give up this illusion. Three separate Florida newspapers (Orlando, Miami and Tamp/St. Pete) did separate hand recounts of the Florida ballots. A university (I believe it was the University of Wisconsin) Political Science department also did its own independent study of the ballots. All four studies determined that Bush received the most votes in Florida. Additionally, it's likely (although this is just a guess) that he would have received even more votes in the panhandle of Florida if the media reports hadn't declared Gore the winner prematurely.
Like him or hate him, he won. It's time to stop whining about it. (Full disclosure: I am NOT registered Republican.)
