OT but I can't help but wonder about the impartiality of a state official who has resolved every controversy in favor of the candidate in whose campaign she worked I cannot help but think this whole issue is actually a non-issue. She was duly elected by the people of FLA for a specific function, a function that was spelled out by the FLA SC unambiguously. She was to certify the election at 5PM this past Sunday. She did not have any discretion to use in allowing for partial handcounts to be included(against FL law) nor did the FL SC say anything about extending the deadline past 5PM, unless her office was closed. Her partisianship had no part to play in this since she was in effect, stamping the election when the deadline came. There are others who are in a position to use their biases in favor of one or the other; Katherine Harris is not one of these people. Looking at the facts and facts alone, I find it difficult to believe anyone could lambaste her for performing her job. Gore/Boise/Daley/Christhopher do a good job with their spin, but anyone who looks at facts and facts alone cannot dispute what she did. BK
