Looks like someone's about to come out and talk...

I've done a hasty analysis of using county voting numbers and undercount totals. Frankly, it doesn't look too shabby for GWB (IF the recounting is done consistently between counties -- I know, BIG IF). Anyway, I've calculated the margin of victory in each county (votes for Bush vs. votes for Gore) and applied that to the undercounts. Yes, this assumes every undercount is a valid vote for either one of them, but the absolute total is not as important as the relative total. The "vote ratio" I calculate is Bush=22746, Gore=20112. In other words, Bush gets about 10% more recounted ...

Picture the scene (similar to the one in "True Lies", starring Arnie Schwartzenegger): A Ryder van moving across a bridge. Two supersonic Marine Harrier jets swoop down from the clouds, launching air-to-surface missles which blow the bridge to smithereens. The van tumbles toward the earth in a haze of fluttering, blazing ballots... $DREAM OFF$

READ BETWEEN THE LINES, AL!!!!

Burton currently speaking. Apparently PBC needs another couple of hours to finish (boo hoo). He's reading a letter from SoS denying extension of deadline, and commenting that she didn't exercise proper discretion.

Just saw Escambia show up on the AP unofficial tally. Thank you!

I clearly recall the U.S. military surrounding Noriega with a wall of loudspeakers and blasting out songs like, "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister. Ironically, this is one of the bands specifically targeted by Tipper during her crusade against "unwholesome" lyrics. I think some Freepers ought to park outside of the Veep's palace and crank up their stereos...
