I base it on the mountain of reporting at the time, which I'm sure you can find and decide for yourself. The rest of the nation groaned but we loved the coverage. We were still watching when everyone else moved on to the next thing.
Hopefully, any recount ends with the winner being declared president - but that's not what happened in the instance in question. I don't think he'd have been a particularly good president, but it seems unlikely that he wouldn't have acted on climate change. To this day I believe that the better response to climate change could come from the right - but they've shown themselves to be entirely uninterested since. Not for nothing, it's the first thing dems negotiate away too.
About the ec...it's something to think about. The only time in the entire lives of the largest voting bloc the us has ever seen that a republican got more votes was bush's re-election. Wartime president and all. That's when they lost me. Came back to give obama a try the first go round...but he ended up being the same wartime president. The entire political establishment had drifted rightward at the time and not in the specific quadrant that interests me. Im not alone here, there are tons of people who have never in their political lives even seen a candidate they'd vote for.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
