If you re-handcount the whole state then Gore might lose again but we probably will never know that. Bush should have agreed to that. It was the only way that either candidate could have received legitimacy. Scumbria, You're right. Bush was too fearful that he might lose, and now if wins FL, he will still lose because he will always question whether he really won FL, and that will hang over him during his administration. ted

RE:"Bush should have agreed to that. It was the only way that either candidate could have received legitimacy" You either hand recount the whole state or you don't. Either's better than the Lawyer charade we have now. That's what I've always said. OTOH, I think the machine count would be the more accurate as the rules stood before they asked the counters to interpret the will of the voters...I would probably say the same thing if Gore was ahead. The system should be changed before the next election. Still hoping the absentees will favor one or the other by such a wide margin as to get someone to concede... Jim
