Well, that was a big goddamn surprise...Gore wins Florida

Huh? Isn't that a traditional Republican stronghold? What next? Bush takes Maryland or something? __________________ ::breaths a sigh of relief:: Just get Pennsylvania, please lord let him get Pennsylvania. __________________ He got Pennsylvania, woohoo! Maine and Rhode Island also went. __________________ Its all about california __________________ hehe __________________ Bush sux __________________ he won florida??? they keep on saying it hasn't been decided yet! __________________ Quote: Originally posted by styleee he won florida??? they keep on saying it hasn't been decided yet! they first said florida was gore's but now they say its too close to call __________________ Quote: Originally posted by hapoo Quote: Originally posted by styleee he won florida??? they keep on saying it hasn't been decided yet! they first said florida was gore's but now they say its too close to call ah ha, that makes sense! __________________ First it was too close to call. Then they gave it to Gore. Then they took it back saying it was too close to call. Then they gave it to Bush and declared him President. Then they took it back and said it was too close to call again. Now they're saying it is just 224 votes to Bush's favor with about 5,000 votes left to count. Now they're saying Gore has the popular vote majority. So, the Electorial vote is still a toss-up depending on Florida. *sigh* It's been a long night. __________________ looks like bush wins florida by 200+ votes... damn this election is crazy... i'm about to move to florida to vote for bush... j/k __________________ Quote: Originally posted by pennypinch Huh?

It's easy enough to point to "the Nader factor," which already has liberals devouring each other alive in a feast of rage. But for the sake of their long-term prospects, Democrats might choose to look in a more productive direction: Florida's extraordinarily high rate of so-called "felony disenfranchisement" -- the lifelong barring of ex-offenders from voting. More than one-third of Florida's adult African-American males were legally prevented from participating in this week's election because of past contact with the state's criminal justice system. And one-third of the male members of an African-American community is a total utterly central to Gore's success. The irony, of course, is that Gore has been a prime mover of harsh criminal penalties for nonviolent drug offenders. So is his chief Florida patron and advisor, Attorney General Bob Butterworth, who was elected to office in 1988 by promising that the Sunshine State could "build the way" out of crime with harsher sentences and more prisons. ~~~ gee, something tells me the democrats will be screaming to reform felony disenfranchisement before the next election ;0) Mavi forum
