If only the media and voters showed as much veracity as sports reporters and fans who follow University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow when Al Gore lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush.
Gators fans and reporters who cover the Southeastern Conference relentlessly tried to figure out the identity of the one coach who dared not vote the virtuous humanitarian and Heisman Trophy quarterback onto the college football conference’s pre-season team. After a week of scrutiny, former UF coach Steve Spurrier, now coach at University of South Carolina, fessed up and changed his vote to make Tebow the unanimous quarterback selection on the pre-season All-SEC team.
When you think about it, who cares? What matters is who makes the all-conference team after the season and more importantly, will Tebow lead the Gators to their first undefeated football season and a third national championship in four years.
If Spurrier hadn’t come forward and changed his vote, Tebow still would have been the pre-season quarterback choice.
Not so with Al Gore, who won the popular vote, but lost the election to George W. Bush in 2000 because Florida’s deciding electoral college votes were awarded to Bush.
Imagine if the press and Gore supporters hounded Bush’s brother, then-Florida governor Jeb Bush, and Supervisors of Elections across the state to identify the thousands of people whose votes weren’t counted and then allowed them to re-vote. Instead, the votes were only partially recounted after the U.S. Supreme court in which some were appointed by Jeb’s and George W.’s dad, former President George H.W. Bush, intervened and stopped the recount as Gore was close to securing enough recounted votes to be named our president to then save the country from eight years of misdirection and poor leadership from the younger George Bush.
But there wasn’t enough of a push to get down to the bottom of the missing votes. If only Gore had a legion of veracious, faithful supporters like Tim Tebow.
