I agree. I only said "likely" because the Supreme Court stopped the count. Am I wrong;; did the count continue despite their interference? Was there an actual, final number?

I'll add that I was surprised Gore didn't loudly protest.

He gave up too soon, did not need to, but why???????

Do I remember correctly that there was a desire to avoid extending the (already) numerous challenges and counter challenges perilously close to January 6? To do so might challenge the tradition of "free and fair" US elections? The fact that Stone was involved in the Brooks Brothers (shut down the recount) Riot cast a dark shadow over the entire process.

I heard Al Gore speak at a presentation of An Inconvenient Truth, and he made a rather feeble joke that he wasn't very good at politics. Like Jimmy Carter, he had a good understanding of science, which of course is an affront to other forces. Let's not forget that before the latest Big Lie, there was Dick Cheney's insistence that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction.

Good to see you appear here now, progwoman.

Want to thank you again for your note on how easily to edit. Since then, less than a week ago, I've posted several things which soon enough I realized needed editing -- which I could do easily enough thanks to you.
