"There was a complete recount commissioned by one of the big newspapers (sorry but I don't remember which one) that held that Bush won the popular vote in FL, making him the duly elected President. You may be able to find the reference by googling on recount in florida. "
If memory serves it was a group of newspapers, magazines etc that did it, not just one. If I remember they did several scenarios like if the chad was dislodged in two corners, vs 3 corners vs etc, etc etc.. Most of the scenarios had Bush increasing his lead on Gore, some narrowed it, and if I recall correctly that there was one scenario that Gore ‘Won’
Guys it was close! Grow up and understand that Gore was not elected Pres and Bush was. Work toward getting someone else in the white house that you like, but this horse is dead!
Would Bush of accepted Gore if the tables where turned? History Nixon vs, Kennedy shows that the Republicans have done so in the past and I believe that Bush would have accepted the vote, or many be he would of wanted until after the first recount. What I can not see him doing is acting like a spoiled child like Gore did ( and his supporters? ) saying “Mommy Mommy bush took my toy away from me!” Gore lost what little respect I had for him during that period of time.
