Dear Jim: I would hope that you are correct and we indeed arrive at a resolution in the short term. However, considering all the indications the Gore/Lieberman camp have given it would be my guess that they would keep challenging any outcome other than their win.
There are a multitude of remedies that can be claimed by either party in the spirit of fairness. Surely, a recount should not be limited to primarily democratic counties. This would open the compass to new state or national elections, which would be a subvertion of the constitution.
In the short term, I expect the market to suffer at the expense of this uncertainty. How long can it be before the nation's sentiment follows? In the end, there is the real sad possibility that we may end up with a President by default, and that it may very well be the person who is most willing to drag our democracy through the mud for the sake of winning.
Regards,
