The mall, which has already proved popular in Florida's Disney World, was designed to attract not only theme-park guests but also local residents and conventiongoers from the newly renovated Anaheim Convention Center nearby.

Last week's recounts all put him ahead, even after hundreds of unpostmarked overseas military ballots were thrown out, and the only thing that could change that was a hand recount of three heavily Democratic counties.
