How on earth can you purport to know what Gore would have done if the ruling had gone against him? He was quite clear that he was not necessarily going to do that, but rather wait until all of the challenges over legally cast absentee ballots had run their course through the FSC. He never, not once, said that he was prepared to concede.

Uh, e, the "verdict" has been in for a month. Just because Gore lost and didn't accept it doesn't make it ongoing. Every time these ballots are handled, bent, scraped etc.. further undermines their accuracy. As far as your comment about Gore conceding if the FL SC ruled against him yesterday, that is not a given. There was already talk of him pressing on with the fight. The paragon of fairness comment is the worst though. Mr. "count all the votes" Gore is the one wanting to throw out the military votes. I guess Bush could concede at some point, then go find a way to mine some votes, the recant his concession. Algore, the paragon of fairness. alan w
