The Baker/Bush objections are just bunk and every fair minded person, Republican or Democratic knows it.

If it is bunk victor, then do a manual recount every ballot in Florida, Wisconsin, Iowa, and New Mexico... All of these states had very close results..

But that not even the issue now. The issue is that the uncertainty being created by not having a president is about to cause a stock market crash.

Now I don't know about you, but if I were Gore, I would not particularly like to be remembered in the history books as the man who gained the presidency, but lost the economy...

Bottom line is that in EVERY COUNTY in America, a manual recount of the ballots would be different than the electronic count. It is just the statistical odds involved. Now if Al Gore wants to go back and do a manual recount in every closely contested county in the nation, then just how long will this election go on?

But thus far they have recounted Palm Beach TWO TIMES already and Bush still leads. Why can't Gore just concede?

I GUARANTEE YOU THAT WERE BUSH IN THE SAME POSITION HE WOULD BE CONCEDING!!

Bush would have conceded, putting the good of the country over his own personal ambitions.

And that is the difference between the two candidates.
