Nadine, at the time Mr. Gore first "suggested" a statewide recount, the Florida state law deadline for such had passed. There was no legal way that a statewide recount could have occurred. Mr. Gore knew this; that's why he "suggested" it. It was a simple PR move, and it worked on you. In fact, his "suggestion" for a state-wide recount was toned down the second time he suggested it publicly for that very reason. If you want to argue, a better argument is that Mr. Gore won the popular vote nationwide. He lost the popular vote in Florida. That's the reason he challenged the entire election in the first place. He never wanted a full state recount in Florida, because he would have lost such a recount. He knew this; that's the reason he had his attorneys challenge the military write-in votes in Florida. Had he wanted a full state recount in Florida, he would have asked for one before the legal (state) deadline. In spite of the best efforts of his buddies like Judge Lee and Suzanne Gunzberger to illegally throw the vote his way, and his attorneys illegally challenging the votes of Florida military personel overseas, he still lost the state.
