they greatly fear the result of a manual recount in Dade. Actually I don't fear it at all. Michael Barrone's analysis of the remaining Dade precincts alleviated much of my concern. They all voted 54% for Bush... That shouldn't change much, and if anything, would gain him some votes. The only thing I worry about now is Al Gore destroying this economy as a result of his attempting to eliminate Florida's electoral vote through litigation in the courts. That's what I worry about. But what you fail to understand is the Bush knows he won this election. Weighing the votes from Palm Beach and Dade... we can see that Gore didn't receive enough votes and won't receive them anywhere. And if this guy is correct about the Haitian vote in Miami-Dade it will surpass the Seminole county issue. And I don't doubt it occurred since I recall an interview with a Haitian on election day where the report was about how difficult it was to vote for those who didn't speak English... HHHEEELLLLLOOOO!!!!!,.... I thought to myself. One cannot be a citizen if one does not possess a command of the English language. And if you're not a citizen, YOU CAN'T VOTE!!! Thanks for reminding me about that interview.... Regards, Ron

Gore-Chernomyrdin Deal Fallout: U.S., Russian Negotiators to Meet Wednesday, November 29, 2000 By Sharon Kehnemui WASHINGTON — U.S. and Russian negotiators will meet in Moscow next week to continue talks aimed at dissuading Russia from selling weapons to Iran. Rudi Blaha/AP Monday: Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, right, welcomes Secretary of State Madeleine Albright to the Russian embassy in Austria. The agreement to meet is the only commitment Secretary of State Madeleine Albright could get from Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov during meetings Sunday and Monday in Vienna, Austria. "At this point, really, all we have is agreement for them to sit down, work out proposals, work on proposals that can deal with their concerns on this issue and our concerns about arms sales to Iran," State Department spokesman Rick Boucher said Tuesday. The State Department announced last week that Russia intended to pull out of a 1995 agreement to stop advanced conventional weapons sales to Iran. The 1995 agreement was secretly forged by Vice President Al Gore and then Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin. In October of this year, news of the secret aide-memoir, as well as accompanying agreements, surfaced in the press. Rep. Chris Cox, R-Calif., told FOXNews.com that he is astonished that the administration withheld the news of Russia's intent to sell arms to Iran, which they learned of a few days before Nov. 7. "It is extraordinary that the administration was advised of this prior to the election and failed to disclose it to the Congress until after the election," he said. (cont) egroups.com

Sounds like you accept some sources uncritically and reject others categorically, not a healthy mind-set.
