Another recount

[Leslilake1 at aol.com]

It seems to me this is the third media-sponsored recount I've read about.  
The first, if I'm remembering correctly, proved Bush won.  The second, that 
Gore did.  This one, Bush again.  In my more paranoid moments I can't help 
but think that these sorts of confusing/contradictory announcements are made 
with the deliberate intention to confuse people so thoroughly that they won't 
have the confidence to do anything other than shrug and say, "Well, what can 
you do?"  Which I hear on an almost daily basis about one thing or another 
lately....

MIAMI — President Bush's victory in Florida, which gave him the White 
House, almost certainly would have endured even if a manual ballot 
recount stopped by the U.S. Supreme Court had been allowed to go 
forward. In fact, a comprehensive review of 64,248 ballots in all 67 
Florida counties by The Miami Herald; its parent company, Knight Ridder; 
and USA Today found that the 537-vote margin of Bush, a Republican, 
would have increased to 1,665 votes under the counting standards 
advocated by supporters of Democrat Al Gore.
