Not so fast everybody , remember in 2000 election Al Gore was " president - elect" for 37 days by the news media ..... then he lost .
I might be wrong. I would have to look back to be exact. But i am almost certain Al Gore was never president elect.
The controversy, at lest how i remember it, was that during the night of the election the news states prematurely called Florida for Gore.
As the night went on, Bush was catching up, and the news stations took back their call for Gore. Bush ended up, up in florida by around 500 votes.
Then the court cases started along with the re-counts and at the end Bush was ahead by around 500 votes in florida.
But don't let facts stand in the way rwjr, you still entertain me, well at lest every once and awhile.
What do you do for work if you don't mind me asking. And if you reply "fuck you none of your business" you would be correct in doing so. But i am just curious.
