I can only see 2 election scenarios that will work out fine.

1. The manual re-counts in FLA do not change the vote materially. After that either Bush or Gore could win with the overseas ballots.

2. Vote change is material but not enough to offset the overseas ballots that are likely to be in Bush's favor. Bush wins in that scenario.

Actually that makes it only one scenario. Both of the above are really the same after I thought about it.
The loser would be forced to concede under the above scenarios.

Apart from this, I don't see another possibility.

BTW--I am getting the feeling Gore is going to pick up a lot of extra votes. That could be why the Republicans are headed to the other states. They might know something about what could be happening in FLA once the counting is finished. That could be a mess.
