RE:"The Republicans made no effort whatsoever to slow down the count" Dan, you're barking up the wrong tree. Broward county counted on Thanksgiving and finished easily. Palm Beach county took thanksgiving off and didn't finish the complete count by 2 hours. The Palm beach County canvassing board is all democrat. They have no one to blame but themselves... The FLSC set the deadline. They were all Democrats. Kind of hard to cry foul on this... Still, giving 174 more to Gore wouldn't help. Gore has to either fab some new votes or eliminate some from Seminole and Martin counties. If it comes down to disqualifying votes in Seminole and Martin County, the mantra "every vote must count" flies out the window... As for shipping thugs, all I say say is that the Dems sent about a thousand lawyers into the sate immediately after the election not to mention Jesse Jackson and Rev. Al Sharpton from NY who came down to "race bait". The last thing we need down here is more Lawyers and New Yorkers. <G> Gore has several chances...albeit slim. 1. Get votes eliminated from Seminole and/or Martin county. 2. Get a hand recount of Dade ballots. 3. Get another hand recount of Palm Beach ballots using a more liberal dimpled chad standard. 4. Somehow get a total recount of the whole state. Perhaps by picking up enough votes in Dade and Palm Beach to get ahead. Or if the US supreme court says that a partial hand recount is in violation of due process...but a hand recount of the whole state is OK... 1. I wouldn't want to be the judge that invalidated those absentee ballots...in Seminole and Martin. 2. Possible, not like like because the Dade canvassing board denied a hand recount 3 times... 3. This one is a real reach. 4. No way to do this before the 12th. Arguement is that if Gore couldn't get aheaad by using 2:1 Dem counties how will be get ahead using the rest of the state. Jim

I thought you and Scumbria would really get a charge out of this. <G> Is Al Gore Mentally Ill? Posted Friday, Dec. 1, 2000 10:40 p.m. EST Al Gore's increasingly desperate refusal to admit he lost the presidential election has some observers wondering if he is mentally ill. In fact, he fits the criteria for narcissistic personality disorder to an eerie tee. A popular Internet message being spread around the globe notes that the description of this disorder sums up Gore's entire being. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), the bible of psychological problems, narcissistic personality disorder is marked by: "A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following: "(1) has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements) "(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love "(3) believes that he or she is 'special' and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions) "(4) requires excessive admiration "(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations "(6) is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends "(7) lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others "(8) is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her "(9) shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes."
