Ah, don't worry.  Maybe different clothes, but the same smell.  Donkey dung, or elephant dung, it's all the same.  It all stinks.

Besides, I voted Nader.  Almost wrote in Joseph Stalin for kicks, but figured there's probably enough in my file already.

Florida recount???  

Definitely one for the history books fellas.  Governor "the Body" Ventura stated the other night that he hoped one candidate would win the popular vote and the other win the electoral vote...  holy shiznit! That might happen.

This election has taken a turn for the surreal...

It already has. Along with the entire state of the country.

Nothing surreal about it.  This is solid evidence of how deeply divided this most powerful nation truly is.

This is a cross-roads for the country, and most people know it. There is obviously huge support for conservative ideals in this country.

But look at the odds against getting a conservative elected; it's an uphill battle:

He's fighting the natural encumbancy advantage.

He's fighting rich Hollywood

He's fighting voracious trial attorneys

He's fighting Washington

He's fighting for election at a time when most people are working and financially happy

He's fighting for decency at a time when social mores are changing

He's fighting for office at a time when there are no wars or threats of war with a depleted military

And I may be missing some more factors, but my point is that it is amazing that George Bush came through so well in this election.

That tells you something.

Nice speech, Gunthr.  Sound like you'd make a great politician  

[Gunthr]

That was written by my speech writer, and Ill pass that on, thank you Leonid <S>, and I'd appreciate your vote next election  

Seriously though, something else of concern for all Americans is the obscene amounts of cold cash that was spent by candidates in this election.

One candidate for the Senate spent $66 Million dollars. I think senators make, what - 200k per year? What does that tell you?

I also saw figures that indicate that the presidential candidates spent $30 per vote in this election. That bothers me.

I did too jihad. For Gore to get this close shows us all how stupid the general populace has become.  

One stat I found scary, was that many of voters had made their minds up within the last three days of the election. As I predicted many moons ago, the last and best commercial won.

Gunthr, it tells me that your political system is screwed up. Thatĝ it's about  money, or rather, buying favours from a candidate. That the politicians have been removed from the people and do no longer serve them.

Of course, this is my Eurocentric view on it, but it does hold some truth, no?
