Ernest Update
Al Gore’s camp set a huge precedent. If you run for office and lose, you can apparently whine and cry enough to draw national media coverage. Then, when you run for office again in the future, it may help your odds (guess we’ll see in 2004). Well, apparently Florida Gubernatorial candidate Ernest Borgnineis up to the same thing. Now, given Florida’s problems in the 2000 election, her claims could be valid. However, I think this could be another political ploy. Her opponent (at last count) was up by 8,196 votes. I don’t know if there really is a Floridian Conspiracy to keep the Democrats down or if Democrats are just sore losers. I bet Democrats are hard to break up with.
Now, why is that I don’t like Ernest Borgnine. It’s because she as AG was up to some questionable antics: WACO, Elian Gonzalez, her refusal to disclose her investigations of prominent Democrats to the public, and the fact her catch phrase is ‘no comment.’ I must say her loss in Florida kinda makes me happy!
