No Colin, Gore might not have won. If you want to do the time-machine thing, just consider how different the last presidential compaign could have been. Bush would have gone after votes in California and New York, and that could have more than made up for the thin margin that Gore won in the popular vote. How Gore "won" in Florida has taken a life of its own, has really become part of urban folklore. Most real studies point the other way. And how may Bush supporters stayed home in Western FLA (the conservative part of the state) election eve when the press had called Bush the winner??

Your right, off track. Sorry. Too much Baileys in the morning coffee.

As for the youngins, tell them to read everything with the understanding that 1/2 is made up and the other half is spin.
