Obama Primary Challenge? Nearly Half Of Dems Want 2012 Fight

Sunday, October 31, 2010


Al Gore won. Gore got more votes in Florida. Any way they legally cast ballots were counted, Gore got more votes than Bush. And that doesn't include the close to 200,000 ballots which were never tallied, never even examined, due to undervotes.

In October2001, eight news organizations published the findings of their unofficial recount of Florida’s disputed ballots. The recount had discovered that AlGore would've won the decisive Florida election if all legally cast votes were counted.



However, just two months after the 9/11 attacks, the news organizations chose to conceal the obvious “Gore Won” lead, apparently putting their sense of “patriotism” over journalistic professionalism.



Rather than tell already-shaken Americans that the wrong man was in the WhiteHouse, the big news outlets – including the NewYorkTimes, the WashingtonPost & CNN – structured their stories around hypothetical recounts that would've excluded some legal votes & thus still would've resulted in a Bush “victory.”



To further protect Bush’s “legitimacy” amid the 9/11 crisis, the news organizations mocked those who challenged these carefully structured stories as “Gore partisans” or “conspiracy theorists.”



Even today, some Americans angrily object when they read references we make to Gore’s Florida victory. They remember that day six years ago when the news organizations sold the case for Bush’s legitimacy.
