David Boies makes Al Gore look humble...the elitist arrogance is just amazing.

FWIW: 1) We know about Broward. About 110 votes for Gore, if I'm not mistaken. 2) We have an idea about Palm Beach, except for those ballots set aside. If those are accepted, then most probably Gore wins. If not, then Palm Beach will yield about 50-80 more for Gore. 3) Miami-Dade won't be complete, but the rate it's going it should be about 650 more for Gore. 4) I strongly feel that they gonna accept those extra, not postmarked, ballots from the military that have valid Id, or Signature, or whatever is required to identify the ballot. The bottom line is that Bush may still win by, like, 150-200 votes. 5) There are two trading days left this week: tomorrow and shortened session on Friday. I think the worst drop we can get on Naz on these two sessions combined will be not more than 150. 6) We will know who the president is by Monday. Uncertainty is over. 7) Even if this goes to Supreme Court, the decision will be made in not more than 2 days. IMO the rally will still happen, and it starts some time next week. All JNHO of course.

Tom, FL SupCt has shown they are lightweights their decision read like a campaign public statement these guys did NOT act like jurists during the hearing nor with their ruling the FLorida legislature is FUMING angry now their Senate is 25 to 15 Republican their House is 77 to 43 Republican their laws and statutes have been overturned expostfacto they have the power to ignore their own SupCt ruling we might have TWO separate sets of Electors sent for Dec18th vote we aint going for full state hand recounts we are heading for Florida battle: leglislature VS judiciary Bush team has made tactical errors (not demanding full state hand recounts) but they seem more expert in legal interpretation they have chosen the high levels of legal challenge NOT the ground war as you call it respectfully, I think you misread these FL SupCt lightweights their entire emphasis has been pragmatism and overarching rule psychology is not the emphasis rather it is the focus of attention and their was DEADLINES, VOTER RIGHTS we even have dispute over the Illinois "dented chad" criterion Illinois did not clearly allow dents to count as votes this is escalating, NOT concluding I think we may have an unprecedented Electoral College battle both in Florida's contingency and nationwide remember half the states do NOT require the Electors to be bound DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH STATES ALLOW UNBOUNDED ELECTORS? ARE THEY GORE STATES OR BUSH STATES? critical question this FL SupCt decision creates more conflict than it resolves very unimpressive court not too concerned about either conforming to the law, nor avoiding a reconstitution of the law after the fact no guidance for military absentee ballots disqualified no specific guidance for conforming to valid vote law far too much latitude for local Democrat officials to create convenient vote validity standards and a firm deadline that disables any statewide hand recount "we do not place blind trust in machines" I wonder if FL SupCt judges calculate their Mastercard interest every month, balance their checkbooks every month, and research every legal case without the aid of computer next stop: US Supreme Court, or Federal Circuit and endless individual ballot challenges every single challenged ballot must be reviewed by the county's three officials these guys will not be eating turkey / Jim

Voltage, et al, it's my opinion that dems in Dade County will save the Bush-dominated precincts until last, so that they will not be able to hand-count them by the 5 PM deadline on Sunday. Hopefully, the Bush team will look into this possibility -- spread the word and just maybe it will get back to them.

V: Why doesn't our Vice President of Chad (I mean Mr. Gore) have the balls to tell step down and admit defeat? It could be a character defect. He may win but only because the Dems are playing indian poker while the Rebulicans are still trying to play bridge <VBG>. Gore may have the best legal team and street fighters (and vote counters) BUT who has the public support? My hunch is that the market is pulling for Bush. I actually think he could still win. Fasten your seatbelt....it could be quite a ride in the next few weeks...;-) Best Regards, Scott
