It's fair to say that the average American voter wasn't too thrilled about the 2000 presidential campaign. Incredibly, that apathy turned into spellbound fascination when the official vote tallies came in on November 7th. Gore won Florida. Wait -- no, it's too close to call. Let's give it to Bush. No, it's a toss-up. Who won? For the next 36 days, we watched as the candidates sent in their legal shock troops. As the recounts -- and the lawsuits -- marched on, the networks -- having already screwed up on election night -- desperately tried to fill days and days of air time. Katherine Harris became a fashion icon. Jeb Bush got really worried. Al Gore played touch football and pretended not to care. George W. Bush cleared brush on his ranch and pretended to be Ronald Reagan. Who stole the election? Both sides, according to Salon.com correspondent Jake Tapper.Book Details
