al-d,

I read this evening that Bush declined a recount of the votes in New Mexico. Maybe he feels confident that he will win in the end...

Justice will ultimately prevail, or else our laws are of no avail...

Bush will win!

At our company's annual "Office Dwellers vs Other Fellas" golf tournament (otherwise known as Management vs Trades staff) the Office Dwellers won by a very narrow margin. The other fellas demanded an immediate recount which still showed they lost. They demanded another recount, and another, and between each recount they plied the judge with plenty of alcohol.

After the fifth recount the scores did begin to change, so one enterprising manager burnt the cards before there could be a sixth recount.

possibly Gore could try getting the Florida scrutineers to count the votes while they are into a heavy drinking session, then he may win.

Naaa, Malcolm. I think some enterprising manager should just burn the ballots before they can be recounted. :-)
