also expect Gore, if he is not gaining significantly in recount, to appeal based on technicalities. I

Appeal where? Palm Beach Municipal Court? This IS the Fla Sup Ct. He has already "won" the Federal District Court Case on the basis of "no federal jurisdiction", I think.

There is as much chance as his appealing to the US Supreme Court as there would be appealing an anti-trust case directly to the USSC without going to the Federal Court of Appeal first.

Uh, whoops. :)))

"Republicans are just better trained voters, it's just one of these quirks," said Dario Moreno, a political science professor at Florida International University in Miami.
