Well, I'm glad you are OK with it. I actually love the idea of the total undervote recount, as you might suspect. Now, no matter who wins, it will be more legitimate. Maybe not totally legitimate but more so than before. And boy, do we need all the legitimacy we can get! If Bush wins the undercount, then you guys won't have the Democrats whining for 4 years. They will finally have to accept Bush as the legitimate winner. Can the votes be recounted fairly? Many of you say "no", but I can't believe now with so much at stake that there will be hordes of people on both sides watching every move. Plus, the Court mandated all county canvassing boards to use the same manual counting standards as set forth by the state legislature, which is Republican-controlled. Can all the votes be counted in time? Yes, Canada manually counted several million by hand in 14 hours, I heard. I'm thrilled! Baker is holding a conference right now, but I think that even if Republicans don't like it, the American people do. And if the majority of people are for it, then I say we go with it. I know you guys don't agree, but many of us trust the counting bodies and want the real winner in the White House. PS-- Just to sure you that I am trying to be fair, I say count all the military votes, too. I also say do not count dimples or any vote that where the intent is not obvious to all.
