It can be fairly argued that those on the right bring up the 2000
Florida vote count brouhaha as much as the left does. It appears both
sides are not so much obsessed with it as they use it as a wedge issue
wherever it is useful to their side of the argument.

Of course, if both sides prefer it to be seen as their obsession with
the issue, so be it.
