Re: "tell Gov. Bush. He's the one who sneered at the offer to count all the counties"
However, it was Bush whos federal case, long prior to Gore's offer, noted the unfairness in counting selected counties, something Gore was hence, second to the plate with. Both men have recognized it now, as do the people, I'm confident.
Re: "Not so, Florida law stipulated that each candidate could request up to 4 counties be handcount. That is precisely what Gore requested."
Niether could have requested full and fair, all counties where applicable, in the start? If not, Gore's later offer was as empty as I know it was. Yes, Gore, knowing he would achieve unfair advantage, took advantage of a situation unforeseen, and still claims it's equitable.
Re: "a variety of other errors ( double punch, butterfly, etc. plus alledged intimidation of democrats) which indicate at least statisticly, that a sizable majority of Florida voters picked Gore. Bush is just trying to win on a technicality."
By technicality, I presume you mean the fair level playing field of a machine re-count and the fair vote total resulting? Looks far more like Gore seeks a technicality...i.e. he says voter error indicates that more people voted for him. Voter error is no cause for a hand-count, under the law.
Re: "look at the actual events of the last two weeks without reading the spin stories"
Good advice for all, and you.
