"I felt bad for him (NOT)." I agree with your post, accept I really did feel sorry for him. He said he was doing it to "further his career". It was pathetic, and he deserves pity (imo).

lallen, I kind of got the feeling that the Judge was a little pissed off with the Gore team. One thing that transpired was when they had Judge Burton from Palm Beach County on the stand and he related that story about Carole Roberts and how she hand selected 3 heavy Democratic precincts to test for the 1% hand count, then at 2 am based upon this handcount with 190 more votes for Gore, she held a news conference and said they would find "1900 votes for Al Gore" if they recounted PBC. That number was widely reported in the media but Judge Burton said on the stand that he didn't think that there was any reason to believe that they would actually find these votes (they didn't). I bet that whole episode weighed pretty heavy in his decision. Never try to cheat a Judge! -John
