Bush campaign is now pointing out that palm beach county has a good reform party org and Buchanan polled more than 8000 votes in this county in a republican primary in 1996. Also, in 1996, there were 15000 votes or so discarded due to bad punching etc in this county. If this information is correct, then case should be closed when the overseas ballots are in. Time for whining has gone. Bringing the legal system into this is very messy...

On the Lighter Side of this mess: Tonight.... White House Celebrates 200th Anniversary By Lloyd Grove Washington Post Staff Writer Thursday, November 9, 2000; 12:33 PM At tonight's 200th anniversary dinner for the White House, current residents Bill and Hillary Clinton will break bread with former residents George and Barbara Bush, Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, Gerald and Betty Ford and Lady Bird Johnson. And, considering that we still don't know whether Clinton's vice president, Al Gore, or Bush's son, George W. Bush, will be the next occupant of the White House, wouldn't you just love to be a fly on the wall for that dinner-table conversation? Dinner guest Hugh Sidey, president of the White House Historical Association, which is organizing a whole host of activities to celebrate the Executive Mansion's birthday, told us this morning that he expects all 200 or so guests to be on their best behavior. "I look for it to be not only harmonious, but more than that," he said. "The meaning of the White House is beyond each of these individuals, and they are fully aware of it." Regarding the too-close-to-call election, Sidey said: "I think there's going to be a little humor about it, here and there. It will be the buzz at every table." But, he added, "I've looked over the guest list"—which includes lots of historians, diplomatic types and even Dame Elizabeth Taylor—"and there aren't any drunks or disreputable people on it." So, we shouldn't expect any fistfights, huh? "I'll break 'em up if there are," Sidey joked. "Clinton is going to be as gracious as he can be . . . I expect it to be just a marvelous evening." Sidey said he originally suggested inviting both Gore and George W. Bush, as well as their running mates, Joe Lieberman and Dick Cheney. "I wanted all four of them to be there. But the Clintons decided it would violate precedent, and I think they were right about that. And now I really think they're right about it." © 2000 The Washington Post Company -Nat
