<ot>Hi Carl & all - as I ve pointed out in my previous post, before the ruling
First, the Supreme Court ruled that Miami-Dade doesn't have to continue the recounts. This is a correct ruling, but it surprises me
it was a foregone conclusion. maybe you are surprised b/c you think the court has an agenda <VBG>. However, IMHO, the court has been consistent by giving the real discretionary power to the carnvassing board, which is the sole guardian of the ballots.
I ve caught up with some of the latest development also. Evidently, as it has been widely disseminated by most news media, the spontaneous protest in Miami-Dade County on Wednesday turned out to be orchestrated by the GOP operatives. I am glad that their skills they have honed to perfection in overthrowing the democratic regime in Iran back in the 50s has not gone to waste. I wonder if the late Lee Atwater is spinning in his grave right now. Could it be true? Like father; like son? I must apologize, right now, my sarcasm is overthrowing with abundance <VBG>! In that sense, I ve to retract my pov that VP Gore should throw in the towel comes Monday. At least, I am not surprised the Gore camp feels it has the right to contest the outcome, if it breaks unfavorably against the VP, since I am sure he feels dirty tricks were played on him. I suspect the dems may even rally behind him, I mean, former Gov Dukakis might be willing to swallow the Willie Horton case, I doubt the present day dems are willing to simply lie down and play dead
Btw, my Thanksgiving was fabulous, but I couldn't afford turnips or eggplant anymore <VBG>!
best, Bosco |
