Boise was taken aback with Russerts contention that Bush picked up 44 votes in Broward. The thing that everyone is missing is the the ratios of votes picked up from these recounting of ballots has changed dramaticly, so you can infer that the earlier numbers across more moderate sampling, yielded inaccurate counts. Hence the first and largest theft always occurs in the first inning of the new game when confusion is at it's highest.
When the flsc directed the Sec of St. to add these revised vote counts, they demonstrated partisanship.
When your partisan, you break everything down to it's minor parts and then incrementaly fight for small gains until you can complete the process.Along the incremental path, take the votes, but cede the decision. You dont mind loosing what you can get back later through PR, but you never give back any gains that move you closer to your objective.
So, self respect, is taking one on the chin, in trade for the votes, they are the objective.
You wont get another chance for the votes so you get them on the record, then clean up your reputation after the damage is done. |
