Divisions and Precisions

I know some folks are

I know some folks are sick to death of election stuff already, but I'm fascinated. CNN has become my new best friend. While the result is up in the air, I'm mostly amused by the snippets of history and trivia, although this verified exchange just cracks me up. From the second call Gore made to Bush last night, retracting his original concession:

"Let me make sure I understand," protested Bush, his victory speech in hand. "You're calling me back to retract your concession?"

"You don't have to get snippy about this," Gore protested.

"Let me explain something," Gore continued. "Your younger brother is not the ultimate authority on this."

Jeb Bush had reportedly assured the Texas governor in the wee hours of Wednesday morning that Florida was a done deal.

I mean... ouch. Nice to see that our presidential candidates can be as catty as the rest of us at times. Really.
