Sorry I've been so slow on the uptake with this, it's just that I was away from a machine that could actually get this webpage up for any length of time.
Wasn't Gore's suggestion of a statewide recount a hollow suggestion to begin with? If they'd have struck while the iron was hot (i.e. within a few days) Gore could have legally swung a statewide recount - but he left it till the 11th hour to try and make himself look good where even if Bush had of said yes there wouldn't have been a constitutional cat-in-hell's chance of a count anyway?

There were a few factors, like for example a media that jumped too soon that slanted the whole election. Whose to know that if they hadn't of called FLA for Gore, the Republicans would have come out en masse to send AG packing in the 1st round?
>>But that won't happen, because Bush is too busy >>demonizing Gore so that if Gore wins (which, if we count >>all voters equally, he will), Bush can take the moral >>high ground and say that Gore was conniving and >>unethical. So which party were you calling tricky?
There was to many things cutting both ways to have possibly allowed a fair recount. Aside from all the supposed shennanigans of Katherine Harris - there was allegedly a regime to bully Haitians into voting Democrat in south FLA, cigarettes were supposedly handed out in the midwest to street people to vote Democrat, Jesse Jackson was out race-baiting before time (all of a sudden the Jews are his friends again ref: `Good Evening Mr Waldheim`)but nobody can dare talk about that. If there's any suggestion that Democratic operatives were in anyway culpable for the mess that occured through the election you're being a mean-spirited individual who has no grasp of true democracy.
