Good Morning Mark, I have no idea how he had the time to run for President.....Inventing the internet and all, I bet that was time consuming...! Flipside of coin. I do believe he got a raw deal in Florida...

I don't think he got a raw deal in Florida at all. He got an artificial boost from the networks calling the state for Gore (when Bush was 50,000 votes ahead in the real counting), which had the effect of suppressing the vote in the more conservative western part of the state where the polls weren't closed yet.
And let us not forget that the Democrats successfully fought to NOT COUNT about 15,000 military absentee ballots because they had no postmark, even though they came from a war zone where postage (and therefore postmarks) are not required. The Dems did this because the military vote was presumed to favor Republicans.
Until Democrat party leaders own this and admit it was a shitty thing to do, I will never in my life vote for another Democrat.
