Tom I think this decision is huge. That and the escalating violence in Israel and the insecurities in the market is underscoring the fact that we need a decision and this process needs to come to an end.

This decision is huge because, while it will be repealed, I believe public opinion (and the press) is now pushing for an end to this mess. And remember.. the press is more liberal than conservative so for them to be siding more toward the 'end it' camp is quite extraordinary.

So here is where we stand. The decision will be repealed but public and press opinion says 'lets end it'. The demos have Daly and Jackson up front.. (not a good public image). Bush has now won 2 total recounts. Gore has lost his legal appeal - to a demo judge. All info I have seems to point toward the fact that the Sec. State has descretion over these matters. Even the attorney generals own web site said that their office would not supercede the sec. state in election matters (even though they did yesterday in a counter order to palm beach recount process).

2 of the counties have already completed their recounts - with little change to the overall votes. One county elected not to continue the counting process. Another one elected not to continue due to the 5pm deadline which has now been upheld by the judge. The question of the butterfly ballots is mute because it was designed and approved by the democrat overseeing that district - and was in force to help their citizens with the voting process.

Democratics only have the courts now to fight this thing. The one avenue that everyone from republicans, public, press and even former president Carter said a few days back was an avenue that was NOT in the best interest of the country. For Gore's group to keep pushing it at this point would be a major public relations mis-step.

Now if Bush's people come out again and offer the olive branch one more time to the demo's - i.e. their proposal already on the table this morning. I think the democratic party would be really hard pressed not to accept it. The press will chew them apart if they continue to drag this through the court system.
