...Yogi Berra said it's not over 'til it's over. Well, it's over," said Florida's Secretary of Agriculture Bob Crawford...
...said Friday. "It's time to be a good loser." To buy time, Gephardt organized a Friday-afternoon conference call for Lieberman and House Democrats. About 120 phoned in to hear Lieberman's pep talk. At 4 p.m., as he was making his case to the members, Gore strategist Bob Shrum broke in with some startling news: the Florida Supreme Court had forbidden Harris to certify the vote on Saturday.

...campaign: corralling people from all the far-flung provinces of his party and harnessing them into an effective team. In his final lunge for the White House, he has put aside his doubts about all the people whose complete loyalty he could never count on.

Governor who broods like Hamlet over every issue and a Democratic attorney general, Bob Butterworth, Gore's Florida campaign chairman, who once made a joke about the problem of convicts' catching fire in Florida's electric chair. That mix ought to make Florida a more cooperative place during radioactive disputes like the recount. But in reality, says University of Florida political analyst Richard Scher, it has made the state a dysfunctional place...
