The Florida saga continues

Jonah Goldberg on the great urban legend of the Florida 2000 votes.

Interestingly enough, he quotes Eric Holder, a member of the Democrats' Election Task Force, as saying,

If every vote is allowed to be cast, and every vote is counted, John Kerry will be president within a day of that election.

Well, actually, he'll be president elect. He won't be president until Inauguration Day, in January.

I know what he meant, though. So do you, so did he, and so did Chris Wallace, who was interviewing him. But if a Bush aide, or a Bush supporter, or Bush himself had made that gaffe, would the press have been willing to do the work of translating it for him?
