"if Gore remains behind in the vote count at 5 p.m. today, he faces the more difficult challenge. Both sides are preparing to contest the outcome, almost no matter what happens today, if only to protect themselves on what both see as legitimate grievances in the way the recounting has been carried out. Gore has been aided in his efforts by the Florida Supreme Court, but there is no guarantee that either the state court will continue to rule his way or that the Supreme Court, which caught most experts by surprise in agreeing to step into the dispute, will rule for the vice president. With the results about to be certified and the contest period ready to begin, the two candidates will have to think more clearly about how the process may end. The day-to-day war-gaming may have to give way to thinking about strategy over a longer horizon, for if there is anything both sides agree on – and at this stage there isn’t much – it is that whoever emerges the winner will need public opinion on his side."
