All Gore supporters that believe Klain's statement(in bold below) raise your right hand. Er, the other right hand. But Klain insisted that the decision to contest the result in Miami-Dade was not made because of fears Gore could not win without the additional votes he had been expected to pick up in the recount. He said that they would contest the Miami-Dade totals even if Gore has more votes than Bush after amended tallies are submitted Sunday night, making it clear that the bitter fight over the outcome of the election will not end. And he hinted that the campaign might also contest vote totals in other counties where they feel the count was incomplete. "We expect the Bush campaign to present contests, we're going to present contests. … The important thing is to get the vote tally right. … It seems clear that there'll be legal action by both sides at that point [Sunday after 5 p.m.]," Klain said.

Actually, you are wrong. Gore did not ask for a recount of the whole state. AFTER the deadline for requesting recounts, Gore said he would agree to recount the whole state. It was moot and as hollow as the speaker himself. PR stuff.
