Don't just whore for karma with your political acumen... convince the power brokers!

The current IOC board needs to go, and people with a billion times more integrity needs to be put in place.

Well, if you're looking for people with more integrity than the IOC, I know just the guy to spearhead the new committee. And if by some stretch he has a job come January, well, he knows someone who might need a job instead...

Voter.com has projected Bush the winner of Nevada, which is appropriate considering he has almost 20,000 more votes. So, even if Gore wins Florida, Bush will still win with Oregon (where he leads by 30,000 votes) and Wisconsin (where he leads by over 7,000 votes).

Yes, the election is close, and I can understand the Gore Campaign's reluctance to concede at this stage (I would do the same I think). But it's extremely likely that Bush will either carry Florida or will carry both Oregon and Wisconsin. For absentee votes to turn around all three of those states would be quite amazing.

So I'm going to sleep very confident that a Republican has been elected to the Presidency.

Of course, the real winner in this election, if I might say so, is the United States, who turned out in amazing numbers to cast their votes. I'm so proud of the turnout in this election, and I hope people will gain a new appreciation of the importance of everybody's participation.

I can say with a straight face, "God Bless America". Cheers, John

voter.com has been balanced, timley, informative and enlightneting.

Personally, I can't wait for the debates on the issues. I'm looking forward to hearing Leiberman and Gore get on stage to hammer out their divided points of view on so many issues. :)

Buchanan received 49,529 votes to Hagelin's 28,539 votes in the primary balloting. Now they are both claiming to the be the "Real Reform party", they will likely end up in court to try and fight for thier gub'ment handout.

personally, I think that Buchanan is being a good little 'publican and is (knowing that no resonabley mineded moderate would consider voting for him), destoying the reform party and taking away the conservitive protest vote (thus helping bush).
