Charles,
RE:'Americans on average are not anywhere close to being as partisan as the activity on this thread indicates. What happened today will very likely make people think Bush is playing this unfairly and could even be offensive to some people's sensitivities. Bush should have accepted the proposal for full manual recount and would have looked like a leader. I see people seeing this as if Gore took the high road.

Now Bush looks like someone who lacks popular vote and trying to steal election using his brother and highly partisan secratary of state. Ignoring the legalities of the issue (which I have no idea favor Bush or not), this was a terrible PR move anyway one looks at it."

You've fallen for Gores ploy. He tried the same thing in his campaign with Bradley, trying to get him to agree on money and advertisements.
With Gore it's like he lost a coin flip or a bet, then says, how about best 2 out of 3? When he loses that, he says' hey, how about best 3 out of 5? 4 out of 7?
They had the count, the recount, Dade and Broward originally rejected the hand recount and Palm Beach county made up the rules for chads as they went along.
Really, what does Gore have to lose by changing the rules of the game until he wins or exhausts everyone.
I think the Sec. of State flly expects to have her ruling questioned.

Jim
