Gotta yank yer chain a little bit ;)..... Seriously.. neither candidate plans to concede after this recount.. you folks really need some rules on this BS. Steve, We have rules but neither side wants to follow them too closely. Clearly our system is flawed to some degree and will need to be overhauled/improved when this is over. Not to worry, the army hasn't mobilized and we aren't about to march on Ottawa. ;~)) ted

Steve, Seriously.. neither candidate plans to concede after this recount.. you folks really need some rules on this BS. We were all under the impression that we did have rules for it. But FL Supreme Court went on a tangent making up their own rules after the election, so at this point, I don't know. The US Constitution says that the elections should be conducted based on the rules agreed on prior to the elections, not after, so I guess the US Supreme court will have to decide if FL Supreme Court can make their own rules after the elections. Based on the original rules, Bush won Florida by 930 votes. Based on the new rules, Bush won by 537 votes. Regardless of what rules we play by, the Florida law allows for contest of the certified results, and we are now in that phase. Joe PS: From an article I read some time ago, there appears to be a distinct possibility that no party in Canada will have a parliamentary majority, so you may not have a PM today. Wouldn't it be ironic if Canada ended up with a similar deadlock?
