Niceguy, By the way, sure wish the US could find a way to quickly extricate itself from the current political imbroglio...It would seem that the deeper the stray into this "never-never" land, the larger the risk of irreparable damage to the next presidency, regardless of the outcome...Sure wish one of these guys, Mr. Gore or Mr. Bush, would be "big enough" to walk away... The risk of "damage to the next Presidency" is far less serious than the risk of failing to uphold Democracy. Sooner or later, the election will be resolved, likely by the Supreme Court. This will be a great victory for the American people, who will have been snapped out of 20 years of apathy and disinterest. Maybe we will actually try to nominate some good candidates next election? I think Mr. Bush did offer to withdraw the recent injunction conditionally on Mr. Gore's acceptance of finality of the overseas vote count...At least that's a conditional offer of closure to this all too messy turn of events pertaining to the election outcome results... All the Democrats had to do was agree to the terms of the ridiculous injunction, and the Republicans were willing to drop it? Does that make any sense to you? Scumbria

Niceguy, If this isn't done correctly now, the damage to the US presidency and our election process may be irreversible. For all the complaints from the Republicans, there is no other way to deal with the irregularities that have been exposed in this election. ted
