dianavan: I am sorry if you are unfamiliar with the laws of the US, but according to the Constitution, he did win the election. People can grip about it all they want. Noone EVER said that the Electorial college was fair. Just what we have to work with. If one wants to try to change it, that is fine- but that is what we have NOW.

If Gore had had any sense of fairness, he would have just asked for a recount of the entire state when there were problems- HE DID NOT! He would only settle for a recount JUST of the three ( I think) districts that he thought he should have had a higher vote in, and not the ones where he won by a larger than expected amount. His "recount" was a "heads I win, tails you lose" thing.

The supreme Court made a ruling- by the law of the land, it IS the law of the land. If you don't like it, fine. But don't go on about Bush not winning the election.
