That's the comparison Hillary Clinton is making in demanding that all the votes (and delegates) be counted from Florida's disputed Jan. 29 primary. Some veterans of that battle aren't buying it.

"That's ludicrous," former Gore campaign chairman Bill Daley told Buzz Thursday. "This isn't like we woke up the day of the election and there are total screw-ups. Everybody knew the rules all along." Daley, one of Obama's national co-chairs, said if Floridians should be angry at anyone it should be state party leaders who broke the clear cut rules.

Gore campaign manager Donna Brazille, ostensibly neutral and a key member of the panel that stripped Florida of its delegates, also dismissed the 2000 analogy: "It was an unfair comparison given the history of the recount and the politics of state officials who openly defied party rules."
