Probably wrote a hundred thousand words about it. What a waste of time.<br /><br />There were a few more lessons than you listed, though. We learned that Democrats are far better at the ground-level battles over things like valid ballots, with their threat to bring 10,000 lawyers to the next close election, so the GOP needs to win by a clear margin from now on if they expect it to count. We learned that the Dems will go as far as to try to throw out absentee ballots from servicemen to win. We learned that there's no point in having rules about when vote counting has to end, or how the state governments set their own rules and break ties, because they're going to chicken out and punt it to the SCOTUS anyway.Cail Corishevnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-71660788285364697762012-11-06T18:17:04.480-08:002012-11-06T18:17:04.480-08:002000 was bathetic because we had Scads of Chads bu...<br />2000 was bathetic because we had Scads of Chads but...no Jeremy.
