Yes, the election is definitely over, it was a long time ago, but now that we can look back six years, any which way you look at it, the will of the people of Florida and that of America was for Al Gore. It's just so clear on so many levels that the Democrats just didn't fight hard enough to hold on to power or to expose the unlawfulness of people like Jeb Bush, who hired firms to get rid of many African-Americans names off the voting rolls.

At the time I figured we'd move on pretty well any way since George W. Bush didn't seem to come to office with a whole lot of baggage or with an overarching theme other than that he promised to not rock the boat. It's like he was elected in 2000 on the premise that he wouldn't change much of anything and simply coast on the good times, and we all sort of bought it.

Who could have predicted that we would be where we are right now, with the most divisive President in modern American politics.
