No one has been able to find any mass of Florida ballots that were carefully secreted away and never counted in order to deny Al Gore this election. Every year, the ballots of tens of thousands of voters in every state go untallied in specific races, because they fail for any number of reasons to punch one and only one hole for one and only one candidate. If Mr. Gore would like to head up a special commission to reform voting and ballot-counting procedures in America, let him have at it. It's increasingly apparent he'll need something to do for the next few years. It's not fair to let them win the game when they never scored a touchdown.
Touchdowns are at least three times as hard to score as field goals.
We should change it so field goals only count for two points. As public support for his antics and tantrums erodes, it becomes less and less likely Mr. Gore will ever set Tipper's picture on that desk in the Oval Office. If the Democrats are now reduced to gutter politics, fighting a desperate holding action to defend their cushy government jobs and bureaucratic turf, this should come as no surprise. What's offensive is that they have to be so sanctimonious about it.
