...Phil Beck had finished his cross examination, Brace had failed to support his theory that there might be structural problems or inconsistencies with the left-hand side of the Votomatic voting machine. He'd also all but admitted there was no reason to doubt the canvassing boards' ability to count their own votes - effectively undermining Gore's charge that a brand-new full recount should take place...
...witness into helping the Bush team with its backup plan. As Brace defended the integrity of some dimples, he got Brace to valiantly defend the abilities of canvassing boards to discern dimpled intent. Whoops. Boies, looking for another 600 votes, is also suing for a recount of the hand count in Palm Beach. If Gore's witness for his case in Miami-Dade turns out to be credible, he'll have done some work for Bush in Palm Beach.

Cheerleaders with bullhorns led the chants, and spectators, some holding small children by the hand, sang out in unison. "Count Every Vote, Count Every Vote," cried Gore supporters. "How Many Times, How Many Times," replied the Bushies. Another cry erupted from the Bush camp: "Concede Again, Concede Again." Gore backers sang back, "Don't Get Snippy, Don't Get Snippy." From the Gore side: "Read My Lips, No More Bushes...
