Angry Vets, Retirees Want Absentee Votes Counted
The Associated Press
PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Hundreds of military veterans and retirees, angered by the rejection of overseas absentee ballots in Florida, staged one of the biggest, rowdiest demonstrations since the presidential election deadlocked more than two weeks ago. More than 2,500 sign-waving demonstrators gathered outside the old Escambia County Courthouse to hear speeches from Republican lawmakers, who were well-received in an area that went big for Texas Gov.

Like It or Not, Al, It’s Over
By Carl Limbacher / NewsMax.com
It’s over, Al. You lost. Now be a man and admit it. Sure, the election was close. Gov. Bush won by a hair’s breadth in Florida. But had he won by a mere one vote, he’d still win Florida’s 25 electoral votes and a ticket to Washington, D.C., and a four-year lease on the White House. So get over it, Al, and admit that your campaign’s sleazy attempt to steal enough votes to overcome Dubya’s lead just didn’t make it, even with all those Broward dimples and piles of chads on the floor and the help you got from the seven dwarfs on the Florida Supreme Court and all those Democrat election officials who did everything possible to invent votes for you.

All day at Mr. Gore's official residence within the gated Naval Observatory, uniformed Secret Service officers, D.C. police and Defense Department security personnel watched over about 400 noisy Bush and Gore supporters who traded barbs shouted over megaphones. Yelling "Get Out of Cheney's House" and "Kiss My Chad," Republicans standing on the right side of 34th Street were matched word-for-angry-word by Democrats on the left side.
American Democracy IS on the Line
By Paul Craig Roberts / NewsMax.com
The corrupt Florida Supreme Court must be severely punished for participating in vote fraud. Impeachment is too good for the Gang of Seven. Arrest, indictment and trial are the best response to the court’s criminal behavior. Republicans must not acquiesce to the Democrats’ misuse of judicial office to steal an election.
TV Spin Struggles With Election Twists
By David Bauder / AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- On ABC, CBS and Fox, television cameras followed it live Sunday night as Florida's secretary of state signed documents certifying George W. Bush the winner of the state's 25 presidential electoral votes. At the same time on NBC, Leonardo DiCaprio set sail for the United States aboard the " Titanic."

Media Electiongate
The Washington Times
It's a shame the public can't impeach the media. If the American people could hold news outlets accountable for errors or bias in reporting, the industry might be reporting on its own electiongate.
