blast from election past

before this whole election 2004 mess gets underway, lets take a moment to reflect to the 2000 election. i grabbed this here screenshot from my computer around 1 in the morning on election night, upon seeing the announcement. i was ridiculously, joyously happy that my little old state of florida pulled through for me.

of course as we all know, i soon came to realize that i'd been duped. the let down was immense.

let's join together and cross our fingers the sunshine state doesn't rip my heart out of my chest again...
