The Bush camp also faces a dilemma that, until now, has received little notice. Bush must decide by Thursday whether to seek a recount in Iowa, which Gore won by a narrow margin. Bush has more time to seek a recount in three other close states, but there are some circumstances under which Iowa's seven electoral votes could become the key to the election. Here is Bush's problem: No one will know until at least Friday who is officially declared the winner in Florida. That is when the overseas absentee ballots are due and will be added to the recount vote. The Bush campaign clearly thinks it will win more overseas ballots than Gore, and offered yesterday to have the Florida outcome determined by that vote. But Bush can't wait for the outcome of the Florida overseas ballots if he wants a full recount in Iowa, because some Iowa counties demand a recount request by Thursday. boston.com More than a little amusing!!!
