Robert Dole threatens to boycott Gore inauguration

McCain and Nunn show statesmanship

Not everyone who spoke out Sunday was fanning the flames. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said on CBS, "The American people are very patient, and I don't think that there is any kind of crisis right now. But they are growing weary of it."

Former senator Sam Nunn, a respected conservative Democrat, issued a statement urging both sides to avoid taking the election to court, and calling for an end to partisan rhetoric. "The two men who would lead America must now act in a manner worthy of the office they seek," Nunn said.

But the Republican nominee for president in 1996, former Kansas senator Robert J. Dole, talked on ABC's "This Week" of a possible boycott of the inauguration should Gore prevail in this dispute. And he pointed out that Republicans control the Florida state legislature in case of "a scenario where the state legislature would appoint the electors" if the vote cannot be certified there.
