What a shock: your votes does count.

Has anyone else heard rumors saying that 1500 people in Palm Beach voted for Gore but it got punched as Buchanan? Supposedly Larry King just mentioned this on Imus.

Only if I'm 1500 people.

Which, last time I checked, I'm not.

No, you're not. Sorry. Guess no one's vote counts unless they are 1500 people.

Yeah, none of those 1500 people's vote counted. They could have all stayed at home and the election would have come out the same way. Wait...

No, but any one of them could have stayed home and the election would have come out the same way.

So, yes tranquileye, no one's vote counts unless they are 1500 people (usually you have to be a lot more people than that).

I wish I could respond to straight without resorting to profanity or insults, but I find it impossible, so I'm not going to respond.
