Can you imagine Obama having Bush's eloquence?

Yeah, I can't imagine an election in any other country where the news wouldn't call it a coup when the leader's brother promises to 'bring in' a sketchy vote in his region. We'll never know what would have been. Almost ten years later it's still the nadir of the 21st century for me.

Bush got more votes, the Supreme Court ruled he won the election, and in an unofficial recount:

George W. Bush would have won a hand count of Florida's disputed ballots if the standard advocated by Al Gore had been used, the first full study of the ballots reveals. Bush would have won by 1,665 votes — more than triple his official 537-vote margin — if every dimple, hanging chad and mark on the ballots had been counted as votes, a USA TODAY/Miami Herald/Knight Ridder study shows. The study is the first comprehensive review of the 61,195 "undervote" ballots that were at the center of Florida's disputed presidential election.

They are public record, you can go count them yourself if you want.
