yep. very easy to postmark whatever date you want with a pitney bowes machine. gore people are no doubt all over the world rounding up votes and postmarking them nov 6th and 7th to make them legal. no question in my mind that one way or another gore won't stop til he's president and that is exactly what will happen. i'm moving to canada......

I still expect Bush to win Florida and the election but assuming the Federal judge allows the hand-counting (which Bush himself has designated as the best way to settle a voting dispute) the vote will be very-very close. Gore could go ahead by several thousand only to see the lead wiped out again by military overseas votes. Big question is how much will overseas votes favor Bush? Dole only won 55% of them despite the military. And now we have Lieberman and Israeli votes coming in by the thousands. It is stated there are 26,000 absentee votes coming in. How do they know that until they come in? Or are those the ones already counted? Four years ago there were only 5,500 in Florida. Both sides will now do everything they can to win and all this moralizing and positioning is BS. The tactic one side condemns in the other one day they will try themselves the next. In the end, the judges will decide and keep them playing by the rules. Both sides will complain but their arguments cancel each others out. In the end no matter who wins there will be an uproar on the other side. Right now Bush is ahead by 327 votes. Stay tuned.
