    Would have been funny if the Pretzel had succeeded in Bush's case:
    Natural selection fixes consequence of unnatural election...

    Won't you people ever give that a rest? 6 years is long time to be whining about your guy losing a close election.

    "There was another Diebolded election just 2 years ago..."

    Depending on how selective your memory is, you might remember that ALGORE CONCEDED DEFEAT IN 2000 BEFORE CHANGING HIS MIND.

    The fact of the matter is that the margin of victory in the Florida presidential election was smaller than the margin of error. Algore's advisors convinced him that all he had to do was manufacture a few hundred votes in a recount of hanging chads and he could manufacture a win.

    HOW GEORGE BUSH STOLE ELECTION 2000

    "Al, this is David Boies of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, America's richest trial lawyers. I apologize for calling so late, but this won't wait."

    "Look, I know you've already conceded, but I've been talking to some folks in Florida and they think they can find enough extra votes down there to give you the state in a recount."

    "Just a recount in Volusia, Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties, though."

    "If it goes statewide our people will be spread too thin to keep things under control."

    "Do you want to give it a try? At this point you've got nothing to lose."

    "That's great, Al. I'll give 'em a call and we'll get this show on the road."

    "Call Bush right away to let him know you've changed your mind."

    "On second thought, call a press conference first."

    "Talk to you later, Mr. President."
