Well, as it happens I channel Barry ( learned it from Hillary's guru), and this is what he'd say:
Damned fool idea, that you should hand count a state when there's no hint of any hanky panky, and let slim margins go unchallenged across the country. So what are we supposed to do? Have the whole blessed country hand count ballots? How much will that cost, and who's payin', the Democratic National Committee? And how much discussion will the ballots take to satisfy all parties with an interest? Plus, what good is a nationwide hand count without the investigation of fraud. Hmmmmm, let's recount tainted ballots, that's an idea.....a stupid idea. Add criminal investigation and civil litigation, and this thing could drag out forever, just because Gore couldn't suck it up and take it like a man. Well, put a stop to it. No hand counts of selected counties, no hand count of the state, no more crybaby shennanigans. Finish the absentee count, certify the vote, and let the country get on with its business.......... |
