C'mon, GZ... open your eyes! I've already answered that question in a previous post:
Dear Mr Hodgkin,
Re: This election is not primarily about who will be president.
It is about who will be the Attorney General and who will appoint all the federal prosecuting attorneys. It is about access to Department of Justice, FBI, IRS, etc, records which, if the Republicans get control of them, will result, IMO, in a massive number of prosecutions for offenses which Reno et al swept under the rug and ignored. For Gore, it is about prosecution for his fundraising abuses -- bet your bottom dollar that if Bush is elected Gore will face prosecution. It is about a pardon for Clinton, when Ray indicts him -- Gore owes him the pardon and will deliver.
I concur with you in the adverse consequences a Republican victory would bring about for the Clinton-Gore administration. For instance, Ms Reno still has to decide whether she'll file a suit against MEGAmole John Deutch concerning his wrongdoings as CIA boss and as a high-ranking official with the Defense Dept....
However, I believe that the current election crisis has much more to deal with foreign politics than with domestic squabbles. As a matter of fact, the escalating outburst in the Middle East is no coincidence since, on the one hand, the Palestinians placed their bets on a supposedly Arab-friendly Bush presidency while, on the other hand, the Likud (Ariel Sharon) kissed a Gore victory goodbye well before Nov 8th....
Therefore, I think that GW Bush's victory was snafued by his isolationist leanings and especially by his maverick picks for his foreign policy top-advisers, namely Condi Rice (prospective National Security Adviser) and Colin Powell (prospective Secretary of State). Both the transatlantic lobby (Bilderberg) and the pro-Israeli lobby (Likud hawks) contrived the current election crisis in the US --not as much as to hopefully push Al Gore's way through to the big chair as to mitigate a likely Bush administration with wishy-washy bipartisanship. Here are a few clues:
