I wonder if the republicans in congress would have really elected bush if a recount of the vote in florida showed that Gore had won by a few thousand votes. I think some would have correctly viewed this act as an abrobation of their resonsibilities to americans. I doubt that Bush could have governed effectively under these circumstances. He would have gotten no cross over dem votes. He would have been viewed by Americans as illegtimate. It might have seriously damaged the republican party in the future (I think it still may). _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
