all I know is, if the first results had shown Bush a few hundred votes behind, with lots of Bush supporters claiming that THEY had not been able to vote properly due to faulty ballot arrangement, the rhetoric would have been just as loud...(and yes, Dems would have been saying "lets stop this silliness and accept the rusults)...

as the old saw goes....

"It all depends on whose ox is being Gored"

(my capital 'G' on 'Gored' *grin*)

Lets have ONE careful recount, and then all shut up...even if it is a one vote margin!
