And by the way you're STILL distorting the truth:

"Several News organizations got together and financed a big study of the Ballots. They all agreed that Bush won."

First of all, everyone knows that Bush "won," whatever that means. It's his ass on the White House toilet, right? But did he get more votes? SHOULD he have won? That's the question these organizations were asking.

As I pointed out, only TWO news organizations got together and did one study that found that Bush got more votes, while another group of an undetermined number of news organizations, including the St. Petersburg Times, found that Bush got fewer votes.


SP Times: "If the recounts had proceeded, who would have won the presidency? The answer is Bush."

CNN: "The National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago conducted the six-month study for a consortium of eight news media companies, including CNN...

...The National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago study was commissioned by eight media companies -- The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, CNN, the St. Petersburg Times, The Palm Beach Post, The Washington Post and the Tribune Co., which includes the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, the Orlando Sentinel and Baltimore Sun, as well as other papers.

But this doesn't matter to you. You'll happily claim that they both support your position, because you have been intellectually dishonest throughout this exchange.
