Do you remember where you were when they stopped counting the vote in 2000; do you remember how you felt? Well, the next time somebody says to you that it does not make any difference who wins the election, think about all that has happened since that election...We've seen in just two years time the squandering of the biggest budget surpluses that we have ever had in America.

Now, the next time somebody tells you between now and Nov. 5 that one vote doesn't make a difference, you ask them to come and talk to me about that.
