Gerry,

Ok, I'm not going to debate that there are several oddities that have sprung up
that seem to help both candidtaes in all kinds of ways.  I also agree that
after the final recount, Bush will be the winner.  But I think it is silly to
say that the candidates shouldn't pursue a full hand count!.  As to subsequent
legal battles, I think that they would only serve to weaken Bush's term as
president.  It is most certianly a political tactic on Gore's part, but as they
say alls fair in love and politics.  But there is nothing wrong (or
unconstitional) with pusuing them!  I personally would love it if this thing
dragged on until Jan.  Less then 20% of the eligeble population voted for
either candidate, so screw 'em both!

Pat
