LL> Hello Bob,   
      
    LL>>> was the closest election in US history, with George W. Bush   
    LL>>> being declared the "winner" by one vote, 5-4.  :)   
      
   BK>>True.   
      
    LL> The smiley was totally inappropriate, as the vote itself was   
    LL> unconstitutional.  After all, presidential elections are   
    LL> actually 50 state elections plus one municipal election,   
    LL> the popular votes used to elect electors to the electoral   
    LL> college, the US Supreme Court excluded.   
      
    A point made long ago, and ignored by those in power.   
      
    LL> OTOH, msybe it's not a bad idea after all to have   
    LL> presidential contests decided by only those nine justices   
    LL> of the Supreme Court. Just think of all the television ads   
    LL> the American people would no longer be forced to watch...   
      
    You managed to come up with the only possibly good point to that   
    option.
