ah, yes...good old Gerry Mander! He did well this time.

I have no doubt Bush got more votes this time...he had 4 years to polish the technique, manipulate the system, and give Rove time to work his clever(really...clever) bit with surreptitious registration where it counted. Yeah...you won, and ol' GW goes from resident to president.

But Bush should not have HAD those 4 years...he lost the popular vote first time around, and if Florida had REALLY been administered and counted fairly, Bush would be just another blip in history.

(and Franz...I remember Wayne Morse well...I grew up on stories of his ability to seek for truth and fairness, no matter WHO it upset!)
