Joe and Jim,

re: "Even though Bush would be going in with a lead and slightly better than 50% chance to win, why do it?"

I was taking this in the context of the Supreme Court hearing, where the Gore team was again pushing the statewide. If it came down to a choice of a (dimpled) recount in the three counties, or a statewide recount, you would think that Bush would have better odds with a statewide. Unless it delayed the certification beyond 12/12/00.

But you have a good point.

John

Joe, <I find it very rational for Bush to be against the recount. With election so close, he won the roll of a dice>

Excellent point. And this is why Gore really wants to push for a recount. He, like Bush, realizes that this election is being determined by statistical error, so if Gore's lawyers can "manipulate" the statistics in their favor, Gore has the White House.
