Richard, let me put it to you this way. Florida's provisions for manual recounts never contemplated countings would take place only in places chosen for partisan reasons. The fact that both candidates had the chance to pick territory was not something that was put in place so that candidates could offset each others potentially gained territorial counting advantages- this would be preposterous. Our Supreme Court has held in the past that similar geographic counting advantages are unconstitutional, and certainly the notion that candidates would be allowed to seek and gain them at the whims of local canvassing boards was never intended either. Gore's attempt to gain such advantages are indeed reprehensible and against the model of American fair play. That Bush fought and refused to partake of such a silly and legislatively unintended game, puts him squarely on the moral high road. I believe this scenario, though perhaps loosely understood, explains why some 25% of Gore voters believe he should concede, while virtually all of Bush voters stick with Bush. Dan B
