Yeah, then figure the amount of republican votes were cost in the very republican Florida panhandle with that early call for Gore. I don't blame Gore though (although I thought the way he tried to petition the supreme court to recount the votes in all senarios that he thought he'd win under, was wrong).
I have just seen "Panorama" (well missed a bit of the begining and a couple of mins of the middle), but it seems like BBC's campaign against the republicans is progressing nicely. Balanced? it was abusurdly one sided. The only two sentenced which balanced it out (where it conceded that Bush won fairly, and that had these phantom votes counted it still would not have conclusively called Gore president, with the fact that the democrats are upto skullduggery themselves) were so quickly and quietly ushered, I almost coughed and missed them. Along with "Abusurd conspiracy theories and inane ramblings backed with clips of B and C line horror movies", sorry I meant "The Power Of Nightmares", their campaign of 'fair and balanced' broadcasting. It is largely harmless with regards to the election, but is trying to push the already high worldwide hatred against America (Or rather the American right) that bit higher.
I am not trying to campaign for support for Bush or anything (I'd probably vote for Kerry because of my views on gays, abortion, etc, although I hate them both), but a bit of fairness wouldn't go amiss.
