The passage of time cannot change the fact that the last election was too close to call, and that the Supreme Court stepped in and said "knock it off already" before FL had finished its recounting. A recounting which could be trusted no more than the original counting. Bitch all you want, but nothing will ever change the fact that Bush was handed the win because it was the best that could be done at the time, because we really didn't know WTF the numbers were, and because it was getting embarrassing running around in the world with our nekkid democracy hanging out in the wind.

And, yeah, if the margin of victory is closer than the margin of error again, we will be embarrassed again, and both sides will rightfully have cause to complain. We all will.
