Skeets, I said, "The Republicans really feel that heaven owes them this one" because of the reaction of Republican members of congress in Washington. They truly seem to feel it was an outrage that Gore called for manual recounts. I don't know why. If one candidate loses the state by 1700 votes in the count, then 300 votes in the recount, I would naturally expect a call for a manual recount to come next. Of course, most states can manage to hold a manual recount without it degenerating into a circus! I blame both candidates for not agreeing on a full manual recount. I blame the Florida legislature for the anarchic mess of Florida election law. I blame Gore for unleashing more sharp lawyers and lawsuits. I blame Bush for attacking manual recounts, which are part of the system, and trying to turn them into a circus.
