Standing firm for a fair count Once a lackluster candidate, Gore now defends the rights of all Florida’s voters to be counted Al Gore continues to pursue all legal strategies for a fair count of the ballots, despite legal setbacks. By Eric Alterman MSNBC CONTRIBUTOR Dec. 5 — Here we go again. The Gore campaign has sustained yet another dual defeat. The Bush campaign is proceeding as if the election is no longer in dispute and the pundits are calling on Gore to make it official. And yet, as Galileo reputedly said, it moves. Gore will not quit. Even after Judge N. Sander Saul’s’ surprisingly harsh decision in Leon County Circuit Court, and the U.S. Supreme Court’s refusal to accept the Florida Supreme Court’s pro-Gore decision of two weeks ago, the fight goes forward. Gore claims he still has not yet received a fair count of all the legitimate votes cast. And he’s right. Post a Letter to the Editor on this BBS Bush is winning the presidency purely on the basis of naked political muscle. If he needs more than he’s gotten so far, say in the Florida legislature or the U.S. House of Representatives, he’ll use that too. WE STILL DON’T know if he will ever get one. George Bush, along with his surrogates (or more likely, his puppeteers) repeat their mantra over and over as if in an unrecoverable trance. “The votes have been counted and recounted and recounted a third time,” they intone, zombie-like. And each time, they say, Al Gore has come up short. ----- I say “no, thanks” to Bush’s self-serving definition of unity. The end is near, yes. And Al Gore richly earned this defeat with his phlegmatic campaign. But the after-election has transformed Gore from a kind of establishment robot to a champion of democracy. That makes him our champion too. He’s right to stay and fight. msnbc.com Ohmmmmmm The votes have been counted and recounted and recounted a third time OhmmmmmmThe votes have been counted and recounted and recounted a third timeOhmmmmmmThe votes have been counted and recounted and recounted a third timeOhmmmmmmThe votes have been counted and recounted and recounted a third time
