...Bush, that's now a matter of opinion. He's now been declared the Florida winner three times (pending litigation). And he's just declared himself the next president of the United States, albeit without the bunting and confetti. Let Gore explain to the American people why he's still suing to prolong this race...

It would delegitimize the state. The only way out is through negotiation, under international auspices. The sad thing is there are people who think we're the solution. We're a solution for what's happening now, not a fix for the long term...
