The crucial thing with the election wasn't actually how the votes might turn out in the end - it was that one of the candidates who was ahead tried to stop the counting because he was worried that a full count might turn the result round.

The fact that it was Bush rather than Gore didn't affect the principle. Anyone who acts like that isn't fit to be elected sewage-disposal officer.

Clinton? Apart from Northern Ireland a bit of a waste of space, but that's quite a big "apart from". I reckon he'll be back in the White House in time, maybe as VP, or perhaps they'll change the rules so that it's only more than two consecutive term that are forbidden.
