If Bush lost Florida in the recount?

[Bo]

Theoretically, it would have been possible, but if the SC would have allowed the Florida recount to proceede, by the time it would have been finished, it would have been very close to the Presidential inauguration. By that time the electors for all the other states would have been certified and thus if Bush would then contest several other states, his challenges would likely be quickly disqualified (due to lack of time and evidence). Even though I do think that if Gore won Florida through a recount, the GOP would be extrmeley energized to defeat him in 2004 since many of them would feel that the election was stolen and that Gore recounted enough votes to give him the win.

Wasn't Bush's team considering a recount in Iowa for a few days? This was early in the Florida chaos though.

I think it was considering recounts in several close states that went for Gore. However, then Bush's team became more confident of keeping their Florida lead, and decided not to pursue any legal challenges elsewhere. However, if Bush lost his Florida lead in December after the SC ruling (if the SC would ahve allowed the recount to continue), then it would have been too late for Bush to sue for recounts in other close states, I believe.

Statewide recounts are fine unless they result in Al Gore becoming President, so no one cared about the New Mexico recount.

Even Gore wasn't asking for a statewide recount.

He was asking for one later, but not initially.

I think that the democrats were trying to steal the white house in 2000, the fact of the matter is that Bush always led in the raw vote count in Florida. I think that it would have been right for Bush to have recounts in these other listed states no matter how close it was to inauguration day. The need was to stop the democrats from stealing the white house.

Gore wasn't trying to steal the White House. He just wanted to make sure all votes were counted properly so that Bush wouldn't steal the White House and wreck our country.

Bush did not steal the white house period. He always led in the raw vote count in the state of Florida. Listen to me here and now, on the republican side in 2000, there was not voter fraud.

He led in the raw vote count, but the recount was never finished. Thus, we don't know who really won Florida. And what about all those minorities who were purged from the voter rolls?

The thug vote? Oh yea that's who we want to decide our elections. They couldn't vote due to their criminal background.

Most of the minorities that were removed from the voter rolls (alledgedly by accident, or at least that's what Jeb Bush says) were not felons.

It wasnt a false document it was the commander of the air guard base here at the time, and he said it about Governor Bush in 2004.

It was a false document and it cost Dan Rather his career. It was written in Microsoft which didn't exist until 1975. The document was dated 1972. Bush served well as a part time pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. He stuck by his home state of Texas just like he stuck by the United States to protect us from further attacks after 9/11. He didn't abandon us for a pack of oriental foreigners or fly around Vietnam with Hanoi Jane. It was a false document and did you watch the clip I posted about the Florida recount. That will speak for itself.

The photo of Kerry with Jane Fonda was fabricated.

It just angers me when you neo-cons are all about war as long as your not fighting it.

I've supported just about every war this country has been in except for when Clinton did it without congressional approval.

So you supported Vietnam?

Ironically, had he, I would have supported that.

He did want to do that at the end, but not initially.

Gore was a wanna be thief who felt he was entitled to the votes of minorities as if he were born with a silver spoon in hand.

Minorities did vote for him.

It's 2010.

I knew that for six months now.

It's 2010.

I knew that for six months now.

Some of the people here act like it's 2000 still.

No, they don't. They're just really angry at Bush and the SC for stopping that recount without ordering a new one.

Ya know I wonder what the repubs would be saying if the situation was reversed.

They would probably be saying that Gore stole the election by refusing to count all the ballots and hear the will of the people of Florida.
