It Must Be The J E W S
Billy McKinney is losing his election by a margin of two to one.
But sadly, Janet "Shake'n'Bake" Reno is losing to McBride. He's got about half the vote so far.
[Update at 9:40 PM]
Well, both lost. It wasn't clear if Ms. Reno was "shaken" by the news...
While I would have liked to see her win, because it would have been an entertaining campaign that she wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in Hades of winning, it is nice to see another Clinton crony repudiated at the polls. When Elian is older, he'll be gratified to see this. I just hope that he lives in a Cuba in which it's possible to learn about things like this.
[Update, after the Reno loss]
It's deja vu all over again.
Now she's going to challenge the election, due to problems with the voting machines.
Like I said, you couldn't make it up...

Mr. "I hate Jews and White People" McKinney said that blacks let him down and that people obviously wanted a "Klansman" to be in office.
If I were to hear that he was run over--repeatedly--by a city bus and that corpse torn limb from limb by a pack of dogs, it would not give me pause. There is no difference between this man and SS members, racist Japanese Imperialists, the Aryan brotherhood, and the KKK--except he's black and thus shielded from any media criticism.

It's positively embarrasing to admit I live in Florida. Sigh. Though I don't live in one of the "problem" counties.

I've been telling people for a year and a half or more: the 2000 election was not an anomalous election in terms of irregularities. It was pretty consistent with prior elections. And nothing much has changed. The irony of the 2000 elections is, most of the ballot problems were the responsibility of election officials who happened to be mostly Democrats. Just try telling the Idiotarians that, though.
Tough break for McKinney. You couldn't buy better justice.

In the Elian case, Janet Reno simply did what was morally and legally right, without taking into account damage to her future political chances.

Elian was returned to a loving father and the country of his birth.
