...think that it's time for him to concede," Cheney told "Meet the Press" after sympathizing with the current veep's plight. "So far he's chosen not to do that, to pursue other avenues, and clearly that's his prerogative. But clearly, long-term, history would regard him in a better light if he were to bring this to a close in the near future...
...Gore camp trying to hold the line now. "A wise man does not try to hurry history," was what Warren Christopher had to say to the Cheney clip on an abbreviated "Late Edition." Christopher, like Gore used to, is talking up the next-year "itch" as something Bush doesn't want either - "wouldn't it be tragic if at some later time, these votes were counted and..."

And my personal favorite: "Oh No, I'm Not Ahead. I Think I'll Call My Brother Jeb." We'll leave you to guess who said...
...Gore had already turned Bush and Cheney down in advance in Sunday's New York Times, in the form of a thoroughly planted article titled "Gore Is Said to Harbor Unshakeable Conviction That He Has Won the Election." John M. Broder's survey of Gore's "associates" included such lines as "Mr. Gore is frustrated, even embarrassed, they say, by the legal maneuvering he has set in motion in this quest to prove he won the balloting in Florida." (We know how he feels.) That was the appetizer for the Sunday shows; Gore will serve the main course Monday night...
