A Fluke Of The Supreme Court?!

Alright ... I like Eleanor Clift (but not her political viewpoint). But she demonstrates herself to be a Democrat who is stuck in a past fantasy world. Today at Newsweek.com she says this

Al Gore is the most obvious and perhaps the only contender who could head off a complete meltdown in the party. After all, he already won the popular vote for the presidency. It was only because of a fluke at the Supreme Court that he was denied his turn at the wheel. (http://www.newsweek.com/id/119851)

A fluke of the Supreme Court?? Has Eleanor not read ANY of the detailed studies of the recount effort that was halted by the Supremes?? All of those studies and countings of the ballots with or without chads that were done by all of the groups showed the outcome to be the same! Bush won. Granted not the popular vote nationwide, but he clearly won the electoral majority needed. There was no fluke. There was no Gore victory - in Florida or national!!

Wake up and smell the coffee Eleanor!
