Apparently Bush was down to a 537 vote lead when Katherine Harris
certified the Florida elections yesterday.
That's a *very* small majority. It doesn't seem like the will of the
American people. But then, recounting all the Florida ballots and
including "spoiled" and "pregnant" ballots doesn't seem to be very
democratic (in the original sense of the word, not the political party)
either.
It's a mess. Maybe you should have another election.
