This, to me, is the end-game for the Democrats: "Florida lawmakers move toward special session to name electors." They've got the senate down to 50/50 and you can count on DeLay, in the House, to be the second coming of Joe McCarthy (in partisan furor, not with hearings etc.) which has everything playing right into their hands to take back Congress in 2002. I'm no longer sure they want Gore to win as long as he keeps fighting and pushing the Republicans towards what they forsee as party implosion over why they can't bury Gore once and for all. On the other hand, if Gore does win it might ignite the far right who have been such good soldiers through the campaign into an open rebellion, something we were deprived after impeachment, unless the Congress contests the election which would be a disaster on the scale of impeachment. All within two years.
