<Hard to avoid conventional wisdom that Gore's back to severe longshot status>

Keep in mind that on Thursday night before the Friday Florida Supreme Court ruling, the conventional wisdom from all the "experts" on television talk shows, including Democrats, was that it was over for Gore. Anything is possible, even though it may be unlikely.

The way I see it, the market will go down sharply immediately after the announcement even if the SC rules in Bush's favor (i.e., sell on the news) and then resume its intermediate uptrend shortly thereafter.

"Supreme Court precedent provides that a justice will vote for a stay if he or she believes not only that Bush would suffer "irreparable harm" without a stay"

I guess no one, including the Supreme court, really believes that Bush won the election if you count all the ballots that were thrown out by a mechanical failure of the voting machine.

If the recount gets squashed then it proves that unreliable machines and mechanical failures are more trusted than people in our society, which is a sad commentary on where we are at.
