Here is my 2 cents worth.
1. The margin of one candidate over the other is smaller than the margin of error in machine counting the votes.
(I voted using a punch card such as they had in Florida, and I had to tear every chad off by hand because the punch did not fully detach them)
2. Hand counts produce smaller margins of error in counting the votes. (The manufacture of the machines that counts the punch card vote has so testified)
3. The standard used to count the votes by hand should not materially affect the relative outcome in any subset of votes if it is applied equally to all cards reviewed in that sample. Check this out with your statistics guru.
4. It is more more fair to recount under-votes state-wide rather than in a few select counties.
5. Disputes of law should be handled in the courts.
6. In any contest: Whoever is ahead wants the contest stopped while they are ahead. Whoever is behind wants to keep playing until time runs out, or until he gets ahead. If you have a lead, you try to slow down the game and run out the clock.
7. People are likely to approve of rulings in favor of their candidate (or team) and disapprove of rulings that go against their candidate (or team).
8. Both Democrats and Republicans believe in the legitimacy of their cause.
9. All or most of the Florida Supreme Court was appointed by Democratic governors. Florida Supreme Court rulings on this case will not directly change the character of the Florida Supreme Court appointments during the next few years (They will be made by Republicans no matter how that court rules).
10. Republicans appointed most of the Supreme Court judges. Supreme Court rulings on this case will directly impact the makeup of the Supreme Court in the next few years.
11. Both the Florida Legislature and the US House of Representatives are controlled by the Republicans. The Florida Governor is GW's brother.
12. Both candidates believe even a tainted win is better than not winning.
13. Half the voters will believe they were screwed.
14. Half of the eligible voters didn't care enough to vote.
15. Whoever becomes the president will have done so with the active support of less than 1/4 of the eligible voters.
16. IMHO, either Bush or Gore will over-stimulate the economy by fulfilling campaign promises. The Fed will drive up interest rates in proportion to the fiscal stimulus applied, almost certainly precipitating a serious recession within two years.
