-OT- Re: "However, be fore-warned/Some On Topic

>>>Meme, Meme, Meme...this shameless Republican-baiting. It is beneath you :)<<<Threejack

No, it isn't. There isn't anything beneath an ultra-extreme, left-winger. <VBG>"

Dick, that's only because it's not my preferred position. <G> However, I'd hardly characterize myself as an ultra-extreme, left-winger. Do you view Gore or Clinton as such?

If you ask me we're seeing a move to the center by both parties.

I do thank you for the link. Isn't it interesting that the biggest discrepancy exists in the same district that has been complaining about the misleading ballot layout. The same district where 19,000 votes were disqualified. Shoot, even Buchanan came out today to say that he believes all the votes for him in that district belong to Al Gore.

Bringing everything full circle so that we might once again enjoy the levity of the situation...it's being said that Nader helped Bush win the election, and now Buchanan is trying to help Gore win the election. Ya gotta laugh.

Now to tie this all in with something topical:

Walt Disney Internet Group's Unprecedented Election Coverage Results in Record Traffic
November 08, 2000 12:16:00 PM ET


NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 2000-- ABCNEWS.com, With National And Local Coverage, Also Offered Access To First-Ever Live, Interactive Network News Telecast With Enhanced TV

Walt Disney Internet Group's DIG unprecedented multi-platform coverage of yesterday's election action -- offering both Election Night Enhanced TV programming and ABCNEWS.com's around-the-clock coverage of national and state races -- proved extremely successful, based on record traffic figures.

Walt Disney Internet Group estimates that 215,000 unique viewers -- connecting for an average of 27 minutes -- participated in "The ABC News American Election Challenge," the live, synchronized Enhanced TV programming that complemented ABC News' Election Night coverage. ABCNEWS.com, the 24-hour online service of ABC News, registered 27.1 million page views yesterday, which bested by 170% the previous single-day site record of 10 million page views set on September 11, 1998, the day ABCNEWS.com posted the Starr Report.

"These impressive figures are a testament to our deep internal resources and our commitment to giving consumers multiple surfing and viewing choices," said Dick Glover, executive vice president, Internet Media, Walt Disney Internet Group/ABC, Inc.

"The ABC News American Election Challenge," accessed via ABCNEWS.com, enabled viewers to 'connect' in real time to the ABC News Elections team. Content, produced specifically to accompany the traditional ABC News telecast, consisted of two interactive viewing components: a play-along challenge contest and viewer response surveys posed by ABC News anchor Peter Jennings.

ABCNEWS.com provided users with up-to-the minute coverage of national and key state races, in-depth analysis of critical issues, and comprehensive morning-after examinations of the winners and losers. Additionally, ABCNEWS.com worked with ABC News to offer real-time voter data, exit poll data, and streaming audio and video feeds, including candidate victory and concession speeches. ABCNEWS.com also provided election updates to a host of wireless devices.
