...world leaders will wobble and general mischief will abound. In Baker's view, the bipartisan counters are secret croupiers itching to stack the deck. There are more surveillance cameras than in a Las Vegas casino and more on-site baby sitters than in your average day-care center, but somehow these volunteers are going to cook the books...
Between the hectoring voice of James Baker and the monotone of Warren Christopher, David Boies cheerfully made the Democratic case to the TV crews. In a crisis atmosphere, he gave off an aura of confidence that somehow the system would work--not in weeks but in days. As he earnestly told a Russian TV reporter one night, "This doesn't happen very often here in this country. It's not a question of legal maneuvering. And it ought not to be a question of politics.

...relations problem for Bush if the Supreme Court hadn't already relieved him of that soft spot in his normally well-forged message. Let them make sense of it all. In taking the case Friday, the Supremes brushed off Bush's flimsiest complaint, that non-hand-counted counties were somehow being deprived of their rights when it was his campaign that decided not to include them in the first place.

The "good life" ain't cheap, and, after our time at Harvard, affording it can be quite...
...hand recounts drag on in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties, canvassing officials have run into a substantial number of ballots whose punch holes are not actually punched, but are sort of poked or prodded or rendered somehow concave. Democratic observers are pushing vote counters to include those indented ballots (most of which appear to favor the Gore-Lieberman ticket) in the state's ultimate tally. At least 300 dimpled ballots have been set aside in Palm Beach County, where they await orders from Florida's Supreme Court. On Tuesday night, the court appeared to have not addressed...
