No, I disagree. If Bush accepts a disputed electoral college result, the vast majority of Americans will come to understand, if they haven't already, that those 22,000 Palm Beach County votes were Gore votes and that Gore would have and should have become president. This is especially in light of the fact Gore won the national popular vote.

It's my belief only GOPwinger hardliners would support a Bush administration under the circumstances as they presently exist.

If Mr. Bush wishes to pride himself that he won the presidency based on the mistake of a poll worker, well, that's his choice. I contend most Americans won't see it that way.

I still believe a court will overturn the Palm Beach County results, given that they violate the "will of the people," and such a provision exists within Florida law.

PS: You really think Republicans would abandon Bush in order to vote that heavily for Buchanon in that heavily demographically Jewish Democratic Palm Beach County? No way, Jose! Buchanon voters were solidly behind Bush. The Reform Party votes in that county were obviously Gore votes and even Buchanon has admitted such.
