Since we have McGraw here, as well as a small assemblage of statisticians, I will take this opportunity to point out something that has bothered me on many of these Bush/Gore threads, despite the massive drift: Gore did not win. Bush did not win. Statistically speaking, using the term "margin of error," we had a TIE in Florida. That was the cause of the constitutional crisis. Say what you will about Supreme Court bias, or any of the rest of it. But (a) we have an electoral college, and (b) Florida was a statistical TIE. It annoys me that so many of you will re-write it (including you McGraw), to claim that Gore WON.
