Flapjack,

At least you still retain the belief that concession is an honorable thing to do, unlike Gore.

Let me dispel a couple of things first:

1. However, you must understand that if the U.S. Supreme Court sides in favor of Gore, then those poll numbers will flip-flop, and Bush will then be called on to concede.

No I do not understand where you're coming from. The only case in front of the USSC is the question of FLASC action in extending the deadline... was it rewriting the Law? Even if Bush losses this one the result that was certified Sunday will stand since that is mandated by a "legitimate" FLASC order. On the other hand, if Bush wins... the result of the machine count of Nov 14 + absentee ballot will stand. Do you see where Bush can lose here that I don't see? Why would he be called upon to concede?

2. That's especially a problem for GWB because of the fact that 300,000 more people voted for the other guy. If you think about it, that's a sizeable number of people.


Easy enough to explain... Gore won by that much in NY. By extrapolation, you can say Gore won NY and Bush won in all the other states combined... now is that too hard? :))
