OT - I'd like to wish all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and express my appreciation for the civil debate that's gone on here, especially between Bosco and Carl. Obviously a lot of passion, but none directed towards each other.

But, Bosco, do you think the FL SC decision now requires virtually all overseas ballots to be included, at least those that are not clearly postmarked after the election, and are not from voters who are on record as having voted? It would seem that missing witness signatures or addresses would fall into that category of "hypertechnicalities" that should not be used to void the will of the voter.

And a couple more op-ed pieces from today's Post - two from the right, one from the left, and the newspaper's editorial stance:

washingtonpost.com (George Will)

washingtonpost.com (E.J. Dionne, Jr.)

washingtonpost.com (Charles Krauthammer)

washingtonpost.com (Editorial)

While neither party has come off well in this dispute, I do think Bush missed an opportunity to appear statesmanlike. He could have graciously concurred with a recount, while stipulating that he would refuse to concede if the results went Gore's way based on the inclusion of any ballots whose chads were not detached from at least two corners. I think a majority of voters would find that reasonable.
