Lonely on LBO

[Nathan Newman]

This race is beyond belief, bizarre beyond any other in history, with
Florida first handed to Gore by projections, then handed to Bush for
victory, then taken away in a recount.  With every other major swing state
ridiculously close and Gore winning the popular vote, the electoral college
is completely discredited.  A number of the TV commentators have started
talking like its constitutional abolition is so obvious a mandate that it's
just a question of getting the constitutional amendment drafted.

Well, Nader and the Greens can take great pride in precipitating a
constitutional crisis.  They didn't get the 5% but the impact could not have
been greater.

It's 1:23p on the west coast and the vote separation is down to less than a
thousand in Florida (224 vote lead for Bush). The network anchors are
stunned,
meanwhile the state officials in Florida are facing a manditory re-count.

Man this is close.

Breathless. Meanwhile the popular west coast votes are stacking
up as a Gore popular lead of fifty thousand. So, we are set up with an
electorial college going one way and the popular vote the other.
