RECOUNT

I just watched the HBO movie RECOUNT, with Kevin Spacey and lots and lots of others, still a little bit slack jawed here. It's all about the complete mess that Florida was in 2000. I had just moved up here when all this was taking place , so I was a little bit out of it, but this movie brought it all back. Seeing still photos from those months come to life was pretty wild. It's a very good movie, I think you can rent HBO movies, if you can't see it.

It does not matter NOW, who did win. Al Gore won the most votes, Zippy won the electoral vote. Done deal, and no one can say how different things would be now, as we get ready to end the eight year Gore Presidency, and getting all fired up to vote for Lieberman-Obama in November. (think what you will of Zell Lieberman, I'd still be over the moon over a First Lady named Hadassah! )

The Bush years have seen an end to the GOP as it was then. The extreme far religious right put all their eggs in his Easter Basket, and he dropped kicked it!. " Worst President Ever", and a republican party in total disarray, that is the legacy of the hanging chad, and all in all, maybe its not so bad...
