Gore wins over public with pre-emptive strike:
From Washington Post

"Gore said he believed the hand count he wants could be finished within seven days of its start. Whether that is true or not, it likely seems reasonable to most Americans. The latest major opinion poll, by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, found 55 percent of those surveyed said they favor a recount of the ballots, even if it takes several weeks, while 41 percent said they prefer to stop the recount and the court cases and declare a winner now.

Some Republicans have criticized Bush's strategists for thinking the public would support their efforts to force an early verdict."

The GOP strategy to push for an end to this on Saturday has already failed whether they realize it or not. Harris may certify the votes but her motives are so partisan they will be met with widespread cynicism and be overturned quickly by the courts.
