Josef said: If they lose (a minor point <g>) they should. I think the court challenge goes outside of scope of the regular election. If the recount confirms Bush, I believe Bush is president elect, unless the courts intervene." I heard a congressman down in Florida say that if Bush is allowed in without a revote or a court challenge to these irregularities.. he would be an illegitimate president.. I am starting to agree... When Pat Buchanan agrees that those votes probably werent meant for him.. it adds a powerful case to their point, as does 19 thousand spoiled ballots.. Your Constitution as far as i know wasnt designed for "smart" voters.. but everyone... I've also heard from some of the voters in that county that not everyone got the sample poll in the mail, and the holes werent included in this sample poll... I think there are serious questions raised here.. Al Gore and the Democrats right now have the moral high ground on this. It looks to me as if the Republicans will do everything in their power to prevent a re-vote.. because they know they'd lose handily. Geoge W Bush says power should be in the hands of the people, not courts or judges or lawyers.. well then.. put your money where your mouth is Dubya.. let the Palm County County Folks have a re-vote.

Joe, I hope you are right and Gore will concede if he loses the recount. But you have a higher opinion of Democrat honor, integrity, and patriotism than I. I don't believe that Gore will live up to the precedent set by the Richard Nixon. If Gore concedes, he has a shot at a comeback in 2004. If he drags this on, public opinion would hopefully turn on him, but he may be hoping to use the liberal media to portray Bush as the demon here. The media circus has begun. Jackson is leading protests. It is ironic that Daley, whose father stole the 1960 election for Kennedy, is attempting to do the same for Gore. The Democrats are facing the total loss of power. They are cornered rats here. Dave
