Here is how I see this whole thing and I will try to be impartial, but please bear with me.

The Repubs want the recount to be the FINAL determination. They do not want a revote(even if restricted to ONLY those who voted in Palm Beach County on Tuesday)

The Dems want a revote restricted to only those who voted on Tuesday because of a problem with the Ballot.

Now, for the analysis:

The Dems want the revote or further pursuit of the answer to the double punched ballots etc. because they believe that the construct of that ballot took votes away from Gore.

The Repubs do not want the revote or further pursuit of teh ballot issue because they also believe the construct of that ballot took votes away from Gore and they believe Bush would thus lose. In other words, even if it can be shown/proven that the ballot is illegal/misleading, they would still not want a revote again.

I know it sounds like spin, but if you think about it, I believe I am right.
