The end of a recent Washington Post Editorial -- and it is IMO worth paying attention to: <<...It bears repeating that the stakes here are larger even than the prize of the White House itself. A breathtakingly close election has put the nation, its electoral system and its two parties under pressure. How the country weathers the challenge depends very largely on the behavior of the two candidates. If they squeeze and manipulate the system for every possible partisan advantage, they damage far more than their own places in history; whoever eventually staggers across the finish line will have damaged his own chance for a successful presidency. If they stand aside as their designees jockey for advantage, the damage is just as grave. Is it really too much to ask that both Al Gore and George W. Bush personally state that they will let Florida count its votes; that they will respect the result; and that they will refrain from inflammatory claims in the meantime?>> © 2000 The Washington Post Company
