Here’s typical moronic whining from a Florida Dem who proves that Florida Democrats have learned nothing from the lessons of 2000 (and are unlikely to learn anything from the lessons of 2002):
“If anyone has used their role in the election to their own benefit it’s been Katherine Harris,” [Ryan] Banfill[, a spokesman for the Florida Democratic Party,] added. “I think Floridians would have been a little happier if she boned up on election law rather than looking into the past and writing her memoirs.”
This is simply ad hominem bullshit. Katherine Harris knew the law, and applied it. Florida Democrats — including the Florida Supreme Court, to their lasting shame — chose to take a more, hmm, elastic view of the law that wasn’t warranted if you took a close look at it.
