Hi jttmab, Reading this thread is now worse than pointless. A rabble is about. As far as C-SPAN at the Supremes on Friday, the interchange between Brian Lamb and Wm. Rehnquist is available at the C-SPAN website. No audio. Just an expedited transcript available late Friday. Some weekend reading for us who can spell. jt, I believe it's over. The Dems have lost it because of monte carlo simulation algorithms. For you Republicans who have no clue what I just said, it is described here: nytimes.com The Democratic contest got assigned to perhaps the most hostile judge on the Leon County bench. He's allowed the Republicans to file individual amicus briefs as well as become party to the suit. What we'll have now is a judicial circus designed to frustrate the intent of the voter in the most pernicious fashion. And exactly in the way that the Republicans have consistently accused the Democrats. The Republicans are simply going to gum up the legal process and let time pass. I'm looking for the deus ex machina that Boies will have to pull out of his bag of tricks to move things along, but I'm coming up short. CB, any ideas? Hehe, just kidding. I'm sure you'll be as mum as a church mouse on this one. <g> Speaking of short, I'm back to picking short candidates in the equities markets. This thing is going to move up tenderly as the SI crowd and other retail fools revel in their sugarplum dreams of how Pres. Bush is going to save us. But no amount of cavalry or cavalcade will turn the NAZ around anytime soon I'm afraid. As the political world races into fantasyland, the equity markets race back to reality. Ironic, isn't it? Reminds one of Lewis Carroll. Best, Ray
