From my Dad, who lives in Tampa:
1. Gore should have gone to Miami, not Tampa yesterday morning. 2. Florida is the focus of the decision. 3. 1200 to 1800 POPULAR votes could make the decision in Florida, 4. Popular votes COULD prove Gore to be the winner, on a national level. 5. Missouri elected a dead man!
No sir, it doesn’t make a bit of sense. I can’t see him taking that at all. What a cluster-fuck…
What’s more, is that it’s a known fact that absentee ballots are just targets for tampering. That’s life. I don’t know why they don’t make it at least a little bit hard to do it.
Finally, if Gore looses, he’s really in great shape. With such a close election, all he has to do is sit back and nod knowingly for four years, add an “I told you so…” every once and a while, and really just wait it out, he’s a snap for the nomination. With four years to do nothing but raise funds, while the republican congress and president screw around… Should be a hoot.
