Dan, I would agree with you if I had faith the ballots would be counted correctly. However, when they start trying to determine "who" the voter intended to vote for, etc. there is great room for not only error but mischief. Also, the whole country should be treated the same way. To have partisans (both democrats or republicans) making a determination of what someones intent was is very dangerous. I believe we (as Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford both did) should accept the 2nd count plus the absentee votes and declare a winner. The loser should be a statesman and concede. With the absentees we still don't know which of them would win and won't know that until Friday. But, this legal infighting and the war of words is very harmful to America and it's reputation. Also, the last two times Christopher and Daley have gone on TV with their threats they have cost me a lot of money as the market tanks before our eyes while they threaten. I will bet most of us got hit with that. I admit I have no respect for Gore. I rate him a phoney and is putting his selfish interest before the national interest.
