Florida... Here We Go Again???
An entry at Political State Report cites an article that shows John Kerry attempting to use the 2000 Election to score political points. In his campaign stop in Palm Beach, Kerry said: "To know that you won, and not be inaugurated and not be able to serve is an unbelievable scar to carry"
First off... how many times is the Democratic leadership going to mis-state the facts? Al Gore lost. The Electoral College, and not the popular vote, determines the Presidency. Should we re-count Florida again?
I realize that every time a Ted Kennedy or Tom Daschle stands in front of a podium and cries about losing in 2000, the crowd goes nuts. But what does that say? To me, it just reinforces the fact that the Democratic Party is more about soundbites than substance.
UPDATE: My apologies to Temple at PSR. I did not intend to imply this his site is trying to perpetuate the lingering controversy over the Florida debacle. PSR is actually one of my favorite resources, and a balanced one at that.
