James, you are correct about my bias for Bush. However, my bias doesn't color my thinking on this one.

Yes, the count was close enough and a machine recount was automatic. I don't have a problem with that. But when one gets into hand recounting when one OBVIOUSLY KNOWS that the hand recount is subjective and without standards, it becomes nitpicking and immoral.

Runoffs don't make sense. Why should one force people to choose SOMEONE again and again ? Why shouldn't a plurality win ? I don't believe in runoffs. People, when they get a chance to vote for the best guy should vote for the person they want and not have to choose among the 2 choices. A runoff implies that the original intent of the voter wasn't GOOD ENOUGH and now either the voter has to stay home or vote for one of the 2 choices. That is very anti-democratic if you ask me.

BTW, I probably used to agree with Gore more than Bush before he launched on this suicidal campaign where he turned against business and "for the people". He was being disingenuous at best...
