Name that fracas

[Gareth Branwyn]

Last night on The Daily Show, they had a segment on the Palm Beach vote that
they called "The Sunshine Wait."

Speaking of The Daily Show, it's interesting that they've been calling the
elections "Indecision 2000" for months. Now several of the networks and print
media are using that title as well in their coverage. Possible WOTY?
