Nader off Florida Ballot

Rory writes "This could be it for Ralph Nader. A Florida judge has issued a preliminary injunction, ruling the Reform Party is no longer a party, thereby knocking its candidate, Ralph Nader, off the Florida ballot. The devil is in the details, and Florida has too many electoral votes for this not to have serious impact on the national election, if this preliminary ruling holds up on appeal."

I heard something similar. I can't remember where, but it was a source that doesn't report rumors. I think the elector (can't remember her name, but the same one who played favorites for Bush last time around) put it on anyway.

There's no way Jebbie is going to let his brother lose Florida. That family is so busy being right, they don't care what rules they break.

What is this crap about "getting over it"? We're living life - life in a country grabbed by Bush gaming the system and stealing the 2000 election. We care enough about America to care about that, because it's important. *You* are the one in denial, and are projecting your crude coping mechanism onto *us*. There was no recount, it was stopped by the Florida Supreme Court. If you accept that Florida election as the will of the people, you deserve what you get from Bush. But I don't.
