BTW, I remember when both sides said they would abide by the results of the recount...and then poof! off to the Supreme Court it went.

Oh, and if you think I'm bashing Gore because he is a Dem...not to worry, I got lots of pictures of us together hanging on my "I love me" wall. Long story, but it was a fun time!

Huh? we have FoS, and we have FoP, and the elections were fair.

Again, I don't know why you think the elections weren't fair or honest

You have a point, and I do care or I wouldn't have asked.

Not sure though we would agree on who the moderates are.
WOW! We agree on something. I am very much an outsider type of voter (Anybody remember John Anderson?) I also believe we need to have moderates who are outside their party's mainstream. What we need are "anti-yes" men (or women) to run this country.

Who would you pick?
