why did the Bush team fear continuing the count in those
remaining precincts that were won by Bush?

If the game is over and the score is 100-98 in your favor, you object to anything that has the potential to change the score, even if you think it will break in your favor. What's the benefit to Bush of allowing the recounts? If he wins, he gets nothing because he's already won. If he loses, he loses. It's a no brainer.

Tell you what. I'll play poker with you. I know almost nothing about poker, but I'll play with you. The rules are this. Every hand we each have to throw $5.00 PLUS all our winnings in the match to date into the pot. We play until I win a hand, then we quit.

You on??
