For those who don't think that the dispute in Florida
is a big deal, consider this:

Aside from Bush getting the presidency, we are now (if
things go as I predict) going to see:

Widespread voting abuse conducted by a party, sufficient
to alter a national election.  The campaign co-chair 
rushing to certify an election, and then claiming that
the election can't be altered after it was certified.

A candidate's brother and the legislature openly discussing
the idea of just declaring a winner, and disenfranshising
the electorate of a state.

And the idea that these abuses deserve a thorough investigation
going straight down the tube (unless you think that the GOP 
will investigate them).

In many ways, it's a regression to the days before the civils/voting
rights acts of the 1960's.
