For those of you that keep insisting that Bush stole the elelction in 2000 don't forget that three different recounts were done. One by Dems, one by Repubs and one by Indeps. All three showed Bush winning. Also, the media called Florida for Bush before the polls had closed in the Panhandle. It was estimated that it costs Bush 10,000 votes. That doesn't even take in how many votes it costs him in states that had many hours to go before they closed. Once Florida was called for Gore many people, myself included, figured that was it. If Gore had won his home state he would have won. He didn't even win his district.
