practicality is next agenda.. Gore FL Contest procedures will drag

we need two days to depose
we need two days for discovery
we might need a few days to transport 450,000 Dade ballots
Gore has the right for discovery
Bush has the right for cross-examination
Gore is trying to appoint a Master for reviewing ballots
(what a transparent attempt to conduct selective handcount)

Boies knows this is an exercise in futility
what I saw today will take 45-60 days to conclude, minimum

a horrible uphill battle for Boies here
it will NOT be possible to speed up anything

Bush's attorneys might do well to drag this until Dec18th
the Florida Legislature might have the final word
unless the US Supreme Court decides that
- changing election rules expostfacto is wrong (revolutionary)
- selective Democratic handcounts cannot reverse a certified winner (unprecedented)

either the USSupCt reverses recount ruling from FL SupCt
or else FL Legislature acts independently

I am watching the slow motion erosion of Democratic support
I observe Cheney proceeding with courage and professionalism
talk about practicality
imagine an external threat in mid-January without a Defense and Natl Security Team assembled

THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION BANDIED ABOUT:
THAT A ACCURATE AND COMPLETE COUNTING CAN TAKE PLACE
sorry, not possible with such ballots, period !!!

Ginsberg (attorney for Bush dealing with press) is excellent
Barry XXX (attorney for Bush opposing Boies) is excellent

GORE CAN GO TO HELL
I think a farflung argument could be produced on Gore's treason

Democrat support will gradually fall away in time
maybe it will hold for a few days, but not more than that
people will not hang on to Gore and his dimples
