Burns and Allen to Give Up? Say Goodnight Gracie. "Goodnight Gracie"

Both Allen and Burns will have the right to call for a recount, it seems. Yet given their prior public comments on recounts, we should expect them to pass.

Burns press release, 11/28/2000:

On November 28, 2000, when the Florida election results were certified, Conrad Burns said Gore "appears more and more like a man who wants to win at any cost." Burns added, "It is time, as some have said, for Vice President Gore to stop being a litigant and start being a Patriot. The good of our nation is greater than any one man, and it is time for Mr. Gore to end these challenges and bow out gracefully."


More Burns in the 11/30/2000 Great Falls Tribune:

At the end of November 2000, Conrad Burns said he would like to see an end to Gore's legal efforts in Florida. Burns said, "Mr. Gore should step aside and let the Bush team begin its orderly transition to the presidency."

And Allen on the Today show 11/8/2000:

The morning after Election Day 2000, when Florida was counting absentee ballots, George Allen said, "we'll need to move America forward as soon
as those votes are cast."

1. I do feel that we do need to ram those words

right back down their throats.

Now that the shoe's on the other foot it doesn't feel too good...

2. A recount won't save Burns, and he has a lot more problems on the horizen than

just the loss of his Senate seat.

Burns held back a million and a half dollars from his campaign war chest that he didn't spend on his re-election effort. Most people around here think it's because he wants to use the money for his up-coming criminal defense on corruption charges.

Allen is losing and the last votes trickiling in are mostly from urban areas, so his loss margin may be extended when those votezs are added.

I think we will take the Senate recount or not.
