After 38% of vote hand recount today in Palm Beach, Bush picked up over Gore another 12 votes or so. Broward produced some 79 or so gain to Gore after 40% of vote count. At best Gore will pick about 130 net gain between these two counties. That would put BUSH still ahead by 800. Does anyone see any chance for Gore? Maime - Dade could go either way but 800 is a lot of votes to tilt. Why shouldn't Gore give up now and look good? Let the country move on and focus on 2004.

I doubt Gore will give up. He has lived his entire life in preparation for White House residency. I think he will struggle until every possibility has been exhausted and his defeat is forced upon him. Cheers, PW. P.S. The only way I could see him accept defeat gracefully is if doing so fits some alternative plan for reaching his life-long goal. Politicians think differently than ordinary people. We, as members of the public, can only guess what mysteries take place between their ears. As far as predicting what they'll actually do is beyond our abilities. Even when they share their plans, we believe them at our peril.
