Continued between then vice president al gore and texas governor george w. bush. so much bitterness in washington. time to have a fresh start. one of the reasons i was successful as the governor of texas is because i didn t try to be all things to all people. the only way to convince voters to vote for al gore was to not ask them for a third clinton term. we are entering a new time. we are electing a new president and i stand here tonight as my own man and i want you to know me for who i really am. well, about a week and a half before the election, karl rove suggested that george bush could actually win by as many as nine points across the country. bret. the bush campaign is asking me to wait 20 minutes on the story to get they re ducks in a row. we can t do that. revealations about governor george w. bush. there is a report out
Statewide standard. the florida supreme court decision was unconstitutional in a 7-2 vote. so it is okay if you go back and establish a recount that is legal but they also say you don t have time to do it. the 5-4 part in the decision simply said time has run out. the myth has grown up that it was bush who was rewarded by the courts the presidency of the united states. seven justices held that the constitution was being violated by the practices the gore campaign was u insisting upon. it appears now that the next president of the united states is all but signed sealed and delivered. i picked up the phone and called the governor in austin and when i got him on the line that is when i said congratulations mr. president-elect. bret: the majority opinion in the supreme court decision bush v. score stipulated that the case can never be used
