(1,214 posts)Decided that contesting the election would lead to a weakened Presidency no matter who won in the end. It's why the Democratic Senators certified the Florida election results and refused to let any member of the Congressional Black Caucus speak out against it. I believe as VP Gore could have allowed (is it recognized?) a member of the CBC and allowed them to speak as well, he did not. Any full recount of Florida would have lead to a Gore victory.
I despise what the republicans are. The only "praise" I have for them is that they won't give up. Unfortunately it's always shit that hurts America and Americans that they won't give up on, but they are tenacious. I don't think snarl or * would have blushed at all over making a (in Gore's case) legitimate grab for power.
