For Mark, the Florida vote was fixed before the polls opened. In the summer of 1999 one Katherine Harris, who was the Florida Secretary of State in charge of elections, paid a consultant to go through the voter's list and remove anyone "suspected of being a former felon." This enabled a situation where tens of thousands of black Floridans were disenfranchised because their name was the same (ie: John Jefferson) as a felon. Since 90% of the blacks who were permitted to vote voted Democratic, that put the fix in right there.
Katherine was also the cochair of the George W. Bush campaign. This was not an accidental bureaucratic foulup.

Cute, what a Witty question.
Wait, I'm only half right.
But to answer your question in a round about way, consider this Skippy,
On Nov. 12, 2001, The New York Times ran a front page article that began: "A comprehensive review of the uncounted Florida ballots from last year's presidential election reveals that George W. Bush would have won even if the United States Supreme Court had allowed the statewide manual recount of the votes that the Florida Supreme Court had ordered to go forward."
Another Times article that day by Richard L. Berke said that the "comprehensive review of the uncounted Florida ballots solidifies George W. Bush's legal claim on the White House because it concludes that he would have won under the ground rules prescribed by the Democrats."
On Nov. 18, 2001, Linda Greenhouse wrote in the Times that the media consortium's count of all the disputed Florida ballots — in which the Times participated — concluded "that George W. Bush would have won the 2000 presidential election even had the court not cut the final recount short."
Any more clever things to say?

No. He will enjoy his retirement from politics. He does not need to earn a living doing public service.

Bush won all the recounts in Florida.
Supreme court stepped in because Gore couldnt accept that he had lost.
