Dec. 3 — Lawyers representing Al Gore and George W. Bush are squaring off again in a Tallahassee courtroom this morning, even as Bush’s running mate, Dick Cheney, says “it’s time” for Gore to drop his challenge to Florida’s presidential vote. “I do think that it’s time for him to concede,” Cheney said on NBC’s Meet the Press this morning. “So far he’s chosen not to do that, to pursue other avenues, and clearly that’s his prerogative. But clearly, long-term, history would regard him in a better light if he were to bring this to a close in the near future.” It is the first time Cheney has called for Gore to stop contesting Florida’s certified vote total, which holds the key the election as a whole. In response, former Secretary of State Warren Christopher, a leading figure on Gore’s efforts to monitor the Florida vote count, said Cheney was “trying to hurry history along” by attempting to pressure Gore into quitting. But Gore has shown no signs of wavering, as lawyers continue for a second day to pursue his formal contest.
