I believe that if the vote count in Florida (once it comes <I believe that if the vote count in Florida (once it comes to its full conclusion) is in favor of Gore, the Bush camp will graciously concede.

You may believe that but the Bush camp has made it pretty clear that if the Gore Camp pursues this, they will pursue 3 other states [and it is their right to do so; nor do I have any problem if they choose that approach]; but I would have some difficulty in calling that gracious.

This is counter to what the Democrats stated they would do. Already the Gore camp has stated that they will pursue (frivolous) law suits to their conclusion.

Well I think that they have stated that they have not ruled out civil action; you seem to have interpreted that as they said they will. Your insertion of the word frivolous is a little premature isn't it? We haven't seen any suits filed...it would be quite difficult to say a priori say they are frivolous. Currently we have some individuals file and we have the Bush camp has filed; the Gore camp has yet to file anything. I think there are a fair number of people that are finding the 14th amendment challenge as difficult. I would be premature in calling it, the Bush camp filing, frivolous. But it looks like there is a lot of potential there.

They have stated that unless Gore wins, the outcome will not be the will of the people.

If you can find me that quote in a credible source, I would very much like to see it. I've read nothing that comes close to that at all.
