I remember the recount for Bush's first win. Yes, it was a pain (and I lived in FL at the time!) but at the end the candidate that didn't win accepted with a speech saying that the well being of our country came first and it was everybody's job to support the new president. President Bush's second term started almost the same way, and then again the other candidate accepted the outcome and we moved on.
Isn't it a shame to see that other countries (specially in Latin America and currently Mexico) can't deal in a mature and professional manner when they have close races to their political top roles? What a bunch of fools.
