Shame, shame! How can this be brought up? Leftists like Shrillary are never ever hypocritical, are they? In 2002 Newsweek reported: At a private fund-raiser in Los Angeles for Democratic Sen. Jean Carnahan of Missouri, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton told the crowd that President Bush merely had been "selected" president, not elected, Newsweek reports in the current issue. Clinton was alluding to the results of the 2000 election in which Democrats demanded a recount of the state of Florida. Their attempts fell short with the Supreme Court and the Florida results were certified with George W. Bush as the winner over Al Gore. It appears that even two years later, Clinton refused to accept the fact that Bush had been legitimately elected.

How would you describe it when the president loses the popular vote but still wins the electoral vote? You will notice though that she still calls him President Bush, and her comments came AFTER the election where the vote count in Florida was in question.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Supreme Court ruling in Bush v. Gore stop the recount? So we don't know who really got more votes in Florida. We only know who had more votes when they stopped counting.
Hillary Clinton's statement was unthinkably outrageous, shocking and her deliberately undermining American democracy itself - unprecedented in American political history - for which she is disqualified to be president and is a national embarrassment.
However, if you'd paid attention, an UNOFFICIAL recount did continue and proved that Bush DID win the popular vote in Florida. Candidate outcomes based on potential non-absentee recounts in Florida presidential election 2000 (outcome of one particular study)[37][clarification needed] Review method Winner Review of all ballots statewide (never undertaken) • Standard as set by each county canvassing board during their survey Gore by 171 • Fully punched chad and limited marks on optical ballots Gore by 115 • Any dimples or optical mark Gore by 107 • One corner of chad detached or optical mark Gore by 60 Review of limited sets of ballots (initiated but not completed) • Gore request for recounts of all ballots in Broward, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Volusia counties Bush by 225 • Florida Supreme Court of all undervotes statewide Bush by 430 • Florida Supreme Court as being implemented by the counties, some of whom refused and some counted overvotes as well as undervotes Bush by 493 Unofficial recount totals • Incomplete result when the Supreme Court stayed the recount (December 9, 2000) Bush by 154 Certified Result (official final count) • Recounts included from Volusia and Broward only Bush by 537 Media recounts Lenient standard. Any alteration in a chad, ranging from a dimple to a full punch, counts as a vote. By this standard, Bush won by 1,665 votes. Palm Beach standard. A dimple is counted as a vote if other races on the same ballot show dimples as well. By this standard, Bush won by 884 votes. Two-corner standard. A chad with two or more corners removed is counted as a vote. This is the most common standard in use. By this standard, Bush won by 363 votes. Strict standard. Only a fully removed chad counts as a vote. By this standard, Gore won by 3 votes.
