Many Democrats, still smarting over the halted Florida recount of 2000, see shades of Bush v. Gore in the battle currently being waged by Republicans to prevent the seating of Al Franken in the Senate.

David Boies, Al Gore's lead attorney during the Florida recount, attempted to address Democrat fears in a Monday interview on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show, where he confidently proclaimed, “I don’t think there’s any doubt. I think Senator Franken has won this election.” (emphasis added)

3. With all due respect...

What David Boies declares couldn't possibly mean any less to me. Right up until the point that Al Franken takes the oath and is sworn in as Senator, the Repugnicans are going to be working their asses off to steal this from him - and they still might just pull that off.
