...secretary of state Katherine Harris went to the state Supreme Court on Wednesday and made two requests - that all election-related lawsuits be organized and heard by state court in Leon County in Tallahassee, and that all hand recounts be stopped in the meantime. The high court hasn't even decided whether it will listen. (Follow the filings at www.flcourts.org...
...would take a wildly indelicate Fed chairman to make a policy change at a time like this, and indelicate is one thing Alan Greenspan is not.

But I suppose even if they did vote without Florida's electors, it wouldn't be the end of the world. It wouldn't be the best beginning of a presidency either - but it would be a beginning...
