As predicted by Gore and the mainstream media, the third party
vote appears to have given the election to George Bush, who
holds an improbably slim margin at 3:45 am CST of 250 votes in
Florida.
With 2,500 votes in Florida, TM-guru John Hagelin, who pulled
more from Gore than Bush, appears to have tipped the election
to Bush. Gore's campaign staff are reported to have commented,
"Hagelin!? Who the hell is John Hagelin?"
Ralph Nader received nearly 100,000 votes in Florida and is
reported to be disappointed that Gore spoiled his chances to
win the Sunshine State.
