<<the Democrats demanded a recount in 3 Democrat counties and Bush won the election, the Democrats demanded another recount and Bush won again. The overseas ballots have now been counted and despite the 1200 military ballots being disqualified Bush now leads by nearly a thousand votes. >>

For someone as meticulous as you Vendit, it is interesting how you can misnumber these counts.
The first recount was a machine re-count that was done automatically under FL law.
The second recount has not been completed, though it has started, stopped, re-started due to actions by the Secy of State and the Bush campaign. Pending further court decisions, it is still on-going in those select counties, but it is still the second re-count.

You have also conveniently forgotten that non-military absentee ballots have been rejected as well. Moreover, in Broward (a Gore county), the rejection rate of absentee ballots was exceedingly high.

BTW, for a trader, a pullback tomorrow with the obligatory dead rat bounce is an opportunity...without having to take a short position.
