...and that's what I'm more concerned about.

Yeah, I think that Shrub himself is a bad choice for president, moderated by the fact that he's propped up by so many of Daddy's Boys that they can keep him in line, somewhat. If he had won outright, I wouldn't argue that he wasn't the President.

Quite frankly, both Shrub's and Bore's tactics during the Fla recount mess disgusted me and pointed to a deeper problem - the purposeful manipulation of voting to favor one party or the other. Oldest game in the book? Sure. Does this mean that we, the people should tolerate it? Only if we enjoy getting reamed every time some power wants a favor from their bought 'n paid for legislator.

You Bush supporters should be on my side on this one - not because I want Shrub kicked out of the office (I do) - that isn't the issue. Whether or not the person who is currently serving as our President isn't the REAL issue, as much as those in positions of power are trying to make it out to be - the real issue is how our voting system still has miles to go before we even meet the goal of being a Republic, let alone a Democracy.
