Recount possible in Iowa Wed Nov 8 23:54:21 CST 2000 By Kathie Obradovich, QUAD-CITY TIMES -- November 9, 2000 DES MOINES -- While most of the nation was looking to Florida for a final resolution of the presidential race, Iowa Republicans said the election might not be over here, either. State GOP officials are seriously thinking of asking for a recount of the Iowa election results, which so far have left only a 3,100-vote difference between Vice President Al Gore and Texas Gov. George W. Bush, Iowa Republican Party spokeswoman Ann Dougherty said Wednesday. The official request would have to come from the Bush campaign, after the ballots are canvassed in each county on Monday or Tuesday, she said. qctimes.com

What would also rip the country apart is if Bush assumed the presidency with most Americans living in the full knowledge that Gore had won. This is why I think Bush's best move is to concede Florida to Gore. Were Bush to do this, he'd become a national hero and would easily win the presidency some time in the future. He's young enough to wait. Doing this would also prove Bush's claim that he's a "uniter" and not a "divider." Were Bush to assume the presidency with Gore having won the popular vote nationally and Gore also would have gotten the electoral college vote, in consideration of the 19000+ marked Gore/Buchanon ballots, America would be a country extremely divided and Bush's presidency would become stained from the get-go. If the greater majority of Americans believe Bush doesn't deserve the presidency, based on a fair vote count, and with the rising of the Green Party, get ready for revolution folks. And count me in on it! And I submit that others among you who'll join.
