Given his concerns over Ohio and Florida, I'm sure Olberman will start reporting on the voting problems in the Washington Governor's race... especially the continual discovery of uncounted votes in heavily democrat King County that tipped the re-recount in Democrat candidate Gregoire's favor (overturning the first 2 counts where Republican Rossi won).

I was going to write something about Olbermann on my blog, but I don't think I could do better than saying he's "douching" it up. Gads, that's funny.

The guy is a terrible reporter and obviously a stupid, stupid man.

I hope he keeps this up for months. I fully expect to see, on January 20, Olbermann talking about how there's still a chance enough votes for Kerry could be found in the next Ohio recount.

If he was a member of the local media in the Northwest, he would be reporting on that......just like everybody in the NW IS reporting on that subject right now.

The OH baloney Olberman is reporting on is national "news"

Its too bad there weren't any mainstreem media folks on top of the 2000 FL fiasco because more people would have learned that Gore gained more votes than Bush inthe recount.

How dare you insult douches by grouping them with Olberman? Olberman is a degenerate subhuman. Please get your terminology correct!

Once again, for those who missed it the first time:

Ryan, you're full of shit.

Thanks Ryan... but, Olberman is not a member of the Ohio media or Florida media either and he covers their alleged voting "problems" non-stop (also, I believe the Washington's Governor's race has gotten just as much national press for being close as the Ohio race did... in other words, it could and should be considered a national story too).

In addition, while the recount (and re-recount) story is being covered a lot by the northwest media, the story of voting irregularities is all but being ignored. The only in depth coverage I've seen is on the Internet or on local radio.

I won't bore you with the millions of local news stories detailing how Gore would have won any full recount. They are there. If you care to learn the truth I am sure you are smart enough to find it. After all, you are smart enough to call me names.

Put up or shut up time, Ryan. Bore us with the facts or get the hell out.

Its in every major source article you find: Washington Post, CNN, USA Today.....read the article linked by the reader above. Or read this one:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A12623-2001Nov11.html

" if Gore had found a way to trigger a statewide recount of all disputed ballots, or if the courts had required it, the result likely would have been different. An examination of uncounted ballots throughout Florida found enough where voter intent was clear to give Gore the narrowest of margins."

If you don't want to get a username and password for the WP, read this article, it says basically the same thing:

http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2001/florida.ballots/stories/main.html

I am not full of shit as Deji Pachi so profoundly describes me, and I am not trying to debate the outcome of the 2000 election. This entire thing started when I defended Olberman for reporting something THAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING.

From the story I linked earlier, which you obviously didn't bother to read:

"Suppose that Gore got what he originally wanted -- a hand recount in heavily Democratic Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Volusia counties. The study indicates that Gore would have picked up some additional support but still would have lost the election -- by a 225-vote margin statewide."

I reiterate: you're full of shit. Furthermore you have very thin skin.

Yes, I read the entire article.

You misunderstand the article you reference. Or you are just selecting a section that you think proves your point.
Gore, and the Gore camp, were only requesting a recount in those specific counties. And as the article correctly states, he would not have won the election based on a recount in those counties alone. If you read the portion of the article I highlighted you will see that the author states:
" if Gore had found a way to trigger a statewide recount of all disputed ballots, or if the courts had required it, the result likely would have been different. An examination of uncounted ballots throughout Florida found enough where voter intent was clear to give Gore the narrowest of margins."

If he found a way to trigger a STATEWIDE recount and not just a recount in those 4 counties he specified HE WOULD HAVE WON. Read it. Its there. Thank you, goodnight
