    Just heard a guy from Miami (some newspaper Miami Herald ) talking live on the radio here in Australia and he said the latest is that Gore is 341 behind with 5 section/zones still to be checked in the Florida re-count.

    He also said the suspisions about legal challenges were that would be aimed at getting a re-vote in JUST Palm beach County.

    So it looks like the president will be decided by a bunch of Seinfield parents [​IMG]

    Actually it's 362 with 3 counties to go, but it the recount may go into next week.

    I can't wait for all of this crap to be over with so these Republican's I work with will stop b****ing!

    Only in America....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

    Some group (I honestly dont know who) said that with 53 counties counted Bush had a 1784 lead.
    Yet the AP says with 64 counties counted Bush has a lead of 362.

    That number of 1784 basically is FL saying that none of the new recounted votes have been validated so the original number still remains the same.

    362 is accurate, just not the "official" line from election officials. They still have one of the largest counties in Florida to go.

    If the election was just decided on a re-count then everything would be fine.

    But its the dodgy ballots and the legal challenges that will make a cloud hand over whoever wins.

    One more county reported and cut the number by 100+. It's now 225 (I think) with 2 counties left. This is insane.

    Is it any coincidence that the Cato is the only Rocket with a temperature scale named after him?

    I didnt think so!!!!
