Betting window is almost closed - how are you gonna play it - 1. Gore makes some kind of reconciliation over the weekend and we spike 250 points in the NASDAQ or 2. Gore and others file 17 lawsuits, promise to fight until the last man, or just say nothing, and we drop below 3000 in the first 10 minutes Monday morning. This is a new low close for the COMP - down 12% THIS WEEK. Next week we get CPI, FOMC, retailer earnings. Interesting times. Place your bets.

Douglas - Lets get the facts straight. The first recount was required by Florida law, not some Democratic conspiracy to subvert the election. It has just been completed. Gee, surprise, surprise, the count changed, and the margin is so slim as to be meaningless. It seems perfectly reasonable to request a hand recount in certain counties where there are questions of irregularities to make sure that the votes were counted right. Second - we can't "shut it down quickly" because, again legally they must wait for those remaining absentee ballots that have until Feb 17 to trickle in. Again, not Democrat subversion, but the law. Now we can speculate till the cows come home as to whether those votes are for G or for A, but until they get counted - no one knows, and declaring one candidate or the other the winner is, in fact, subverting the system and outside the law. If the certified election count on the 17th shows Bush the clear winner and Gore is still contesting the election on the 20th, I'll join you with the tar and feathers. I think I'd have a heart attack if one of you actually admitted that maybe if Bush was down by some 300 votes, the legal process of certifying the vote count was still in process, and there were voting irregularities alleged, that he wouldn't be asking for the exact same thing. Naw, never happen. Alex

Gore operatives may be tempted to physically alter those ballot boxes Uh, Doug...any concern that Bush operatives may be tempted to physically alter those ballot boxes? Hmmm...didn't think so. No need to since Republicans have a long history of being as pure as the driven snow and avoiding low political tactics. Thats probably why they unleashed their jackals in an 8-year, fifty-million dollar taxpayer-financed all-out assault to get the Clintons by any means possible. One of my favorite results of this election is that my congressman, James Rogan, one of the Monica 12, got thrown out on his ass. Care who won????????
