No, that is about the electoral vote process and how he thinks the system is broken. As soon as we go to a general vote rural states will lose a voice.

Not in Florida. Jigger the ballots one way or another way, the shift totaled maybe fifty ballots. Even with the Democrats making the decisions, each and every reexamination had Bush winning by a greater or lesser margin. And eventually the Supreme Court told the Dem Party it was time to quit their stalling.

Considering that there was no prospect whatsoever of the Democratic candidate competently facing 9-11 -- that is, attempting to win the ensuing war, which in some eyes is George Bush's unforgivable sin (I just can't see it with those eyes) -- I say the Republic was fortunate to have no further continuation of the Clinton legacy.

Both parties tried to win the election in Florida in ways that had nothing to do with the actual vote. The holes in the system made that possible. That is reason enough for prophlactics.

I say there is no promise we are not about to experience another one.

That is some scarey shit. There'd be gun grabbing at home and continued aggression overseas.
