Michael, IF Florida SC upholds Judge Sauls, the election will effectively be over.

What's the timing on that? Thought it was today.

Dont think so. Its the seminole county case that will decide. If Gore wins he gets majority and the electors, Bush appeals and Legislature postures with their own electors.

Then the fun will really begin. Stock market will tumble for sure.

<<Actually if Gore has class, he will concede immediately>>

IMO, the race is over. Bush understands that he did not receive the Seminole votes legitimately, and he didn't want his character sullied by chicanery. He also knew there was confusion in Palm County, and he benefited by exploiting the difficulties of aging-- something a decent person would never do. Since having class is significantly paramount over winning the election, Bush knew conceding was moral, righteous, correct, and very American. He clearly instructed the Florida legislature not to overturn the will of the electorate for political gain. We shall accept his concession with grace.

Obviously, VBG.
