Scumbria,

re: "The judge made it clear. Prove that a recount will give you the election, and then we can do the recount. What a moron."

That's the Florida law. A good lawyer would be able to find a good statistician that could "prove" that. The lawyers didn't do their job.

re: "I don't see how the absentee ballot case can lose for Gore, short of massive corruption in the FL judiciary (which of course is not out of the question.)"

I see you are preparing to throw the blame.

I think that a (rare) neutral observer would conclude that the Florida folks have been non-partisan, especially the local election boards. The exception, IMHO, is the Secretary of State. Which is too bad.

In a strange way, I think it's very American, and sort of cool, that a minor circuit court judge from Tallahassee, Florida has made the decision that will lead to the end of this Presidential and historic "event". If he doesn't get over-ruled I will feel better about this whole process. It's reassuring that a relatively common citizen can still receive and deserve the nations confidence.

Do you understand what I mean?

John
