Elmer, I'm getting the feeling I might not be able to change your mind <g>, and I pretty sure you won't change mine. So I think I'll give up and begin cooking my turkey (the damn wife rebelled this year, if I want turkey I have to cook it). I hope this election mess can get resolved soon, regardless of who get's elected. One thing I'm sure of, the results from the process are going to have a bigger effect on the country than the results of the election. It will take a while to live down this mess, and the distrust that will follow. This hasn't been a good exercise for the country short term, although it may be good for the country long term. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, John

Re: How about having a vote over the Rights of Blacks and only handcount the votes in White counties George W. (and/or those fabulous advisors he is supposed to be so good at selecting) did not ask for hand counts in the counties in which GW did well. This was a tactical decision on their part - it was purely Bush's choice and Bush's decision. Don't try to make it the result of some secret cabal blocking recounts that would have been favorable to GW. That isn't what happened. The election was a tie in which GW was slightly ahead. There is a process for getting more accurate then usual counts in close elections and GW chose to attempt to block that process instead of risking the outcome of an accurate election count. GW has been trying to discredit the notion of recounts period and recounts in close elections are standard in the US. It's a strategy that may well end up being a winning strategy, but don't pretend it's a particularly moral or honest one, because it isn't. Dan
