None of this bears, of course, on the advisability of manual recounting in general. For whatever reason, some ballots were not punched all the way through--the senior citizen wasn't strong enough, the paper was particularly tough, whatever. Such ballots might indicate a clear choice and yet have been mechanically rejected. Given the incredible tightness of the race in the Sunshine State, there is a case for having human beings go back and include these votes...

Gore obviously assumes that hand-counts - whether they're in three counties or sixty-seven - will put him over the top. This hasn't gone on long enough for either candidate to bet against the odds...
...when George W. Bush makes his planned 10:15 rejoinder - talk about getting out-maneuvered - it won't be enough to lean on Harris and her reading of the law. He'll have to find a way to defuse Gore's little masterpiece if he wants to keep the public on his side...
