DescriptionHere's a cute one written during the 2000 Floridian controversy... part two in a series.

"November, 1981: In the closest gubernatorial election in New Jersey history, former Assembly Speaker Tom Kean defeated Congressman Jim Florio by a scant 1,797 votes out of more than 3.2 Million cast.

And Jim Florio defeats Tom Kean is an election that leaves Republicans complaining that the election was stolen from them."
