Election 2000 UPDATE: I'm obviously a little too late, but I hope NONE of you voted for Ralph Nader! As of this writing/typing, Gore had 260 electoral votes and Bush had 246. Gore would have been in much better shape if Nader didn't run for the presidency, considering his intentions were to steal some of the votes away from Gore. Some of you might have heard this already, but...a vote for Nader was a vote for Bush! GO DEMOCRATS!
On another note, the Lakers aren't doing too much to defend their NBA title...as they lost to the 1999 champs San Antonio Spurs, 91-81, in Texas. This is L.A.'s 2nd loss in a row, with 3 losses so far in the 2000-2001 season.
MEMO to Phil Jackson: San Antonio does NOT deserve an asterisk next to their championship title. The season in which they won may have been shortened dramatically, but the playoffs sure weren't. The Spurs still needed 15 games to win during the post season, which they did.
