Greetings folks! Sorry I've been off the board for a bit. It's not just the Florida ballot. Technical problems with transferring phone lines have had me offline during these crucial political moments (GOPwiner conspiracy maybe? (LOL) Just kidding!). Hopefully my phone line technicalities will be resolved by tomorrow and you'll hear more from me. Presently, I'm on a borrowed computer and there's absolutely no way I can respond to the 147 messages in my SI inbox. Sorry 'bout that. Oh, well.

Let me re-enter the fray by asking three simple questions:

1) In the state of Florida, or anywhere else, does a candidate have a right to request a recount?

2) How many recounts has the Gore Campaign requested?

I can answer the questions.

First, yes, a candidate has a right to request a recount. Florida state law stipulates a candidate has a right to do this in specific counties rather than burdening the state with a whole statewide recount.

Secondly, the Gore campaign has requested only one recount. There is absolutely nothing unreasonable about this. Anyone who thinks differently, including the Bush campaign, is completely unreasonable.
