dutch..."gore forbid legal team to go after seminole"

my point exactly.....if it is win at any cost, then the focus would be on seminole....the case and it's resultant remedy is not what the gore team feels would be beneficial both legally and politically....

The Seminole case is a dud. All the Republicans did is put voter registration numbers by hand on applications. Democrats put those same numbers on by computer. Hand or computer should not matter. Also the hand application applied to only 4000 of 15000 republican ballots in Seminole, there is no way to connect the cast ballot to the individual application (voter privacy), thus ALL 15000 votes would have to be thrown out, not just the 4000...talk about disenfranchising! It won't happen, and if the trial judge, who has a bone to pick with JEB, rules to throw them out, she will be overturned on appeal. THe case is a loser and as proven on MSNBC last nigh, the plaintiff in the case is a liar. Jacobs the man who filed the case told Matthews he had no connection with nor any contact with any Gore people ever. Well turns out Jacobs is a close friend and business associate of one of Gore's lead attorneys in Fla. To his credit, Chris Matthews went ballistic about that lie.

Gore is SOLIDLY behind the Seminole case, just not publicly. Remember when Daley first said that Gore/Lieberman/Daley will support private citizens' legal challenges, way back when the butterfly ballot was the main issue? They haven't backed off at all. If they were really consistent with "count the vote," Gore would have intervened AGAINST the Seminole and Martin county suits.
