Just curious - since both sides in this have made their own blatant attempts 
to discount votes in Florida does the 'dark day" epithet go both ways?  It 
was indeed a dark day in 1960 when Chicago's Mayor Daley and Texas' LBJ 
helped steal the election for JFK as well.  It was also a adrk day when the 
Florida Supreme Court TWICE overstepped its bounds and became the defacto 
legislature - which is not what courts do.  They got spanked by the US 
Supreme Court for doing so.

But it is indeed a dark day for our republic (since we are not a democracy) - 
as the Democrats and Republicans are still in power!  There goes any hope for 
smaller government, more freedom, less taxes, less assaults on the 
Constitution, etc.
