Alex, welcome back, long time no see. carful in the oil patch there, i think the tide is turning against the exploration plays, again, at least for a time until a new "Asian Malaise" gets behind us early in the coming year. As for Nixon and politics, I think that people are attempting to rewrite history. Nixon did not concede until well into December (the "conditional concession" was just that "conditional"), nothing happened then to the stability of the free world and nothing will happen now if we wait until the results are well known and certified. I just watch on TV how each ballot is examined by a team of three (a Rep, a Dem and another guy), no way you can cheat or make big mistake. Baker is floating a Canard, and I think that if he bases his case on the "potential" for irregularity, the court will throw the case out, I am sure that Carl has greater experience than I to guess if that would be the court decision or not. Visit more often. Zeev

Regarding Nixon and the 1960 election, an interesting article. It does appear that Nixon behaved in an uncharacteristically statesmanlike manner, though I have little doubt that he did so with an eye to his image and future political hopes. washingtonpost.com A couple highlights: In Fannin County, which had 4,895 registered voters, 6,138 votes were cast, three-quarters of them for Kennedy. In one precinct of Angelia County, 86 people voted and the final tally was 147 for Kennedy, 24 for Nixon. And from a reporter who looked into the vote fraud: "I remember a house. It was completely gutted. There was nobody there. But there were 56 votes for Kennedy in that house." They don't hold elections like that anymore.
