"Bottom line? Gore has destroyed our international credibility as a beacon of democracy. Watch for a renewed worldwide challenge to budding and developing democracies. Forget the Balkans. Gore is taking us (the world) down an extremely dangerous path in pursuit of his own power. God help all of us." Interesting, but to be honest I just do not know yet what the long term repercussions of this will be. I do not see how they could be positive, but if justice is served in the end, then it may just be a footnote on another "alls well that ends well". If truth is served then it may actually strengthen some peoples faith in our process. If it goes the bad way then I would be inclined to agree with your statement. HAGO TH

Florida's votes were counted Some were, let's count the rest. Why do Florida's votes deserve special attention, well that's the tradeoff of the electorial system. In order to not have recounts propogate across the entire country the election is setup in packets which coorespond to states. Each packet can be settled independantly. Since Gore won both the electorial and popular count it is important that we verify this fact by counting every single vote that is in dispute. Heck, count every vote in the country if there is time and money available. TP
