Subject: Who Are These Gore Voters Anyway? (amazing stat)
The Bush - Gore Electoral Map shows each county won by Gore and each won by Bush. The map included a few interesting statistics; among them: * Counties won by Gore: 677 * Counties won by Bush: 2,434 * Population of counties won by Gore: 127 million * Population of counties won by Bush: 143 million * Square miles of country won by Gore: 580,000 * Square miles of country won by Bush: 2,427,000 * States won by Gore: 19 * States won by Bush: 29 Professor Joseph Olson of the Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul Minnesota has produced another interesting new statistic. Professor Olson looked up the crime statistics for all of these counties and came up with this: * Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties Gore won: 13.2 * Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties Bush won: 2.1 Ah ... those Gore voters. This country needs more of them, right? ------------------ When given a choice, take both. |

After many years of illness, Ronald Reagan was very ill and it appeared
that he might not pull through. Obviously, Nancy and the rest of the family were at his side, as well as the family minister. Knowing that his time might be short, they asked if there was anything that he wanted. "Yes," he replied, "I'd like very much to have Bill and Hillary Clinton at my side before I go." They were all amazed at this request and several assumed that his memory was failing even worse than they had suspected. Regardless, they went ahead and forwarded his request to the former first family. Within hours, the former president and first lady arrived at his bedside, courtesy of the loan of Air Force One. For a time, no one said anything. Both Bill and Hillary were touched and flattered that Ron would ask them to be with him during his final moments. They were also puzzled -obviously they >were of different political parties and had thrown barbs in one another's direction over the years. Why not George Bush Sr., G.W. Bush or some of Reagan's many Hollywood friends? He had never given the Clintons any indication that he particularly liked either of them. Finally, Bill spoke up and asked, "Mr. President, why did you chose the two of us to be at your bedside at this critical moment?" The former president mustered up some strength and said very weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves ... and that's how I want to go. ------------------ When given a choice, take both. |

Well speaking as a bloody foreigner here, I think you all missed that presiant vote over there.. Has Bush done anything right so far? Just wondering since all we here about him is that he has virtually no knowledge of the world around him.. I hope is not so..
