I don't think they outsmarted themselves. They knew damn good and well that they needed to steal the election to win it and so they wanted to recount in large population counties that they could control. Now they are trying to leave the false implication that if they had sought a recount in all counties at the outset they might have won - which the USA Today study also diproves.

To their credit, the Knight Ridder outlet in the Twin Cities printed the FL. recount story on the front page above the fold. However, check out the spin and false insinuation in the first paragraph: If Harris had allowed count to continue, weeks of angst might have been avoided AMY DRISCOLL KNIGHT RIDDER NEWS SERVICE If Secretary of State Katherine Harris had let South Florida counties complete manual recounts before certifying the results of last November's election, George W. Bush likely would have won the presidency outright, without weeks of indecision and political warfare, a review of Miami-Dade County's ``undervote'' ballots shows. pioneerplanet.com See, it wasn't Gore spewing lawsuits like dandruff that caused the anguish. It was Harris trying to steal the election. Disgusting as usual. This is the "moderate" paper here.
