In one county, the incumbent Democratic governor was about 3K votes ahead of the Republican challenger, then the results suddenly and mysteriously switched so that the Republican was 3K ahead. Now, the Democrat wants a state-wide recount, apparently counter to state law, and of course the Republican doesn't want to bend the rules to help the other guy. Basically, it's like two years ago in Florida all over again. I personally hate them both, so I checked out the Libertarian candidate's web page to make sure he wasn't a total nut, then voted for him instead. I actually voted for the incumbent, Don Siegelman, in 1998, since he seemed less embarrassing to the state than his mumbly, slightly crooked Fundie Republican opponent, Fob James. Unfortunately, Siegelman went on to embarrass the state anyway, with an insane homophobic rant about teenage boys wearing earrings. With all the mud-slinging this year, the new Republican candidate, Bob Riley, proved to me that he isn't any better than Siegelman. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
