That is precisely why there are warm-ups before a game, to steady the nerves, find the shooting touch and try to intimidate the other players, who are undoubtedly sizing up the competition out of the corners of their eyes...
...votes had been counted - and to start immediate p.r. preparations for the long and turbulent "contest" phase ahead. "From the beginning of this extraordinary period, Vice President Gore and I have asked only that the votes that were cast on Election Day be counted," he said in his warm-up for Gore's Monday morning address, calling the Secretary of State's count "incomplete and inaccurate."

...been saying for months and months, 'I'm gonna make things better in Washington. I'm going to unify.' Fine. That's great. But he's got some proving to do." A Republican member of Congress on Gore: "He wants to fight everyone and everything." New eras of warm cooperation have a way of dissolving into cold, familiar warfare, and even good intentions and fond hopes can't always prevent it. A single shot gets fired and returned, and suddenly a sniper attack becomes a skirmish becomes a battle becomes a war. The first bullet flew on the day after...
