VT: Rasmussen: Shumlin (D) beats Dubie by 5

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Even if Dubie beats Shumlin with under 50%, the heavily Democratic Legislature will pick Shumlin.

And they would truly be HP for doing that.

Kind of like the Supreme Court in 2000, heh?

Jesus Christ, how many times must I go over this:

1. Florida law entitled Al Gore to seek a recount.  Al Gore's campaign asked for a recount, but only in the 3 most heavily Democratic counties (presumably hoping enough votes would be "found" to put him over the top).

2. The Bush campaign sued and asked the SCotUS that the recount either be done in every county or not at all.

3. The SCotUS ruled that the recount had to either be done in every county or not at all.

4. Gore conceded rather than ask for a recount in every county.

But Gore still got more votes.

Gore had more votes in Florida? That's news to me.

Gore had more votes in America.

You've never heard of the Electoral College?

Which is obviously a horrible system if allowing the legislature to put in the guy who got less votes is also a horrible system.
