I think that it will come down to the absetee ballets. Its that close and I wouldn't care to call a winner. Whoever wins, it certainly won't be by 10% though. More like 1% or maybe even by the Electoral College.

Bush by 10%, Eagler? HA!!!

The way it looks to me, here in California and 2AM is as follows:

Al Gore will win the popular election by a few hundred thousand votes.

If the recount in Florida comes out the same as the first count, Bush will win Florida, and the Electoral College, by less than 500 votes.

This would make George W Bush our 43rd President.  It would also rob him of any kind of mandate.

Its kind of ironic that the exact opposite scenario was being discussed with trepidation in the "Popular Vote vs. Electoral College" thread.

If Bush does win this one, all you Conservatives had better thank God for Ralph Nader.  He will easily have been the difference between a Gore victory and a Bush victory.

Goodnight..., er, morning rather.

There's no mandate for either side, no matter how it turns out.

If Bush does win, though, I think I'll send the Greens a big contribution.

 

Either way, the Nation survives and we get little Billy out of the White House without a shot being fired. Success!

Four years from now we get to argue all this stuff all over again, too...archive your threads because NOTHING will have changed except a few Supreme Court Justices. You'll be able to recycle the posts!

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist.

Yep, the Republicans have to cater to the minorities better, i.e promise more hand outs, take from the rich give to the poor mind set.They have to learn the scare tactics better for their senior citizen votes.

This way way closer than it should have been.
Even if Bush wins, the country is in the crapper and I feel we have all lost. Lost a lot more than just this election ........................

I take umbrage sir.

If you want government to intervene domestically, you're a communist. If you want government to intervene overseas, you're a fascist. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you're mindless cattle. If you don't want government to intervene anywhere, you're a libertarian!
