jeff, al gore wanted to rig the election in his favor by requesting selective recounts. any reasonable person understands that is not fair.

most would much rather take a machine count result with a high error rate than let candidates cherry pick in this manner.

the lack of standards is just icing on the cake. totally unfair.

now, bush has been anything but a saint here. he doesn't want to work out a way to find the most accurate intent of the voters. he wants to win.

displaying honesty, integrity, principle and courage by initially requesting a full and fair statewide recount with consistent standards would have given al gore a VERY GOOD shot at contesting this election. he displayed none and that will be his down fall, imho.

no way he wins in 2004. people see through him (which is why he didn't win in a landslide like any decent vp would have under current conditions).
