That little technicality aside, I think this election will be every bit as close as the one 4 years ago...hopefully we won't see the need for lawyers to decide who becomes president this time around.
Actually, congress did vote for the president to have the authority to chose to go to war or not against Iraq. That was the bill that the pubs accused Kerry of voting for, saying he "voted to go to war". And the bill the dems accused Bush of for not following the necessary steps to go to war...

Capitalism is a system in which the central institutions of society are in principle under autocratic control. "
