Gail, I just read your election thoughts and had to crack up. I'm from Florida and I can't begin to tell you how disturbing this whole thing is. I am a Republican, but if Al Gore had won Florida in the beginning, I would have cried for a minute and then gone on being an American and supporting him for the next 4 years (albeit somewhat grudgingly). I am constantly amazed at how the Democrats are hell bent on winning this election. Unfortunately, I have lost all respect for Al Gore and his gang of "win at anyone's expense." For any of you out there who are loyal Democrats, and who voted for Al Gore, please don't take this as my beating up on you. Just sick of the entire fiasco. Nina
