The flaw to where you are trying to go with your argument is that we have just had an uncommonly close election. So uncommonly close that we are standing at 17 votes in one state NM, (maybe that has changed) and but 300+ in a state that will apparently be decisive. 300 out of 100,000,000 votes cast? This is uncommonly close. This requires great care to get it right.

The US is a Republic of Laws. There has been anticipated a mechanism that proscribes the process to be followed. In this particular case Florida has a body of law to be followed in remediating discrepancies or anomalies in the voting process. It includes hand counting if necessary. And it looks to be necessary.

If there is any lack of respect for the rule of Law here it looks to me like it is now coming from Bush. Who would have thought that Bush, on the basis of his campaign claims would have abandoned himself so readily to what you derisively call the Clintonization of America?
