But the Gore campaign also requested an extension, which by law is only applicable to acts of God. Two days ago, Daley basically came out and said to the Repubs, too bad now that you have missed the 72 hour timelimit for asking for a recount in Repub counties. The Dems do not want to give the Repubs a chance; why should they get an extension? I cannot believe the press does not point these discrepancies out.

It appears that the Bush folks may have pulled a fantastic coup on this. They didn't ask for a manual recount in other counties since they did their homework and knew of the Florida statutes which mandate the counties to have their votes submitted by 5:00PM Tuesday (tomorrow). Either Palm Beach submits their count by then, or the votes from Palm Beach simply won't be counted toward the state vote. Also, by filing the request for an injunction (which the Fed court denied), it would appear that they have removed the Federal Courts as an option for the Gore folks to use to override the Florida statute. Brilliant, eh?
