OT/Dabum. Saw Gore today. Just more of what I've been expecting:

He said it best, "I will do anything to win". And he is.

Each time a milestone, deadline or decision by a court comes and goes, Gore extends this mess further and further into the future.

Today his reason is "the team in Florida is optimistic"?!

HELLO...AL!! You're paying Boies $700/hr. I'd be optimistic too - maybe for another 6 months - if I were him, LOL!!

Seriously, if Judge Clark throws out those Seminole ballots? This will get very ugly, very fast. It will unite Democrats solidly behind Gore then he will become much more demanding.

We've already seen what this biased media will do when it gave far greater air time to misrepresenting a spirited, but lawful demonstration by Republicans in Miami/Date than it did on behalf of it's defenders. Imagine the what they will do at the 1st sign of real violence. No matter what happens, who do you think the spin will demonize?

IMHO, the reason we have to do everything right and they don't is because public opinion can so easily be turned against moderate conservatives by the press because the groundwork has been laid by many years of conditioning.

Know I sound like a broken record<g>. But can't emphasize enough how important this is to political dynamics in recent years: If you control the air waves you control public opinion, especially among the less educated and more gullible masses.

It will be even easier for the networks to deceive and manipulate the nation if it becomes even more overwrought by the selfish machinations of one of the most divisive figures in American political history.

Hope this is over soon. But I don't think it will be.
