GUEST of 10:57, Thanks for a erudite presentation on presidential history. I agree with you on most things, but not the Florida Supreme Court decision to declare Gore the president. That court was seven people all appointed by ultrapartisan Democrat governor Lawton Chiles. The decision was still just 4-3 with the chief justice saying "I object to this decision in the strongest way...". The US Supreme Court settled it by a 7-2 vote, not 5-4 as often stated by partisam sources.
