The election keeps going and going and . . .
John Potter is right about the elections -- Scarier than Halloween.

If any voter in Indian Country, or the entire country, for that matter, thought his or her vote didn't matter, that sentiment has now been proven wrong. With ridiculously slim margins separating George W. Bush and Al Gore in New Mexico, Florida, and elsewhere, the election has turned out to be filled with more lawsuits, intrigue, and name-calling than the average tribal election.

Even races in Congress were close calls. About the only sure bet was First Lady Hillary Clinton's win over Representative Rick Lazio in the US Senate. And people blaming election woes on Ralph Nader, whose Green Party didn't get five percent of the vote anyway.

So where next? No matter who becomes President or if Slade Gorton beats out Maria Cantwell, tribal leaders and Native Americans will have to live with the final choice and work with the new leaders.

As one Navajo Code Talker told Indianz.Com over the weekend, "Whoever wins, just go with it."
