...some Republicans worried that the popularity of John Lennon could help galvanize the anti-war movement and result in a massive vote against Nixon. On February 4, 1972, Senator Strom Thurmond sent a secret memo (later brought to light via a Freedom Of Information Act request) in which he railed about Lennon and the danger he could cause the President's 1972 reelection campaign. The proposed solution? Revoke Lennon's visa. "If Lennon's visa is terminated it would be a strategy (sic) counter-measure." But, Thurmond noted, "caution must be taken with regard to the possible alienation...

If Bush can counter that over 1 million votes need to be manually recounted, there will not be enough time to count the votes before the electors must vote on Dec. 12--Bush will win by default. Pretty clever Dubya, a great way to win an election indeed. What was that you said about being "a uniter...
...muster with its betters, and the Gore campaign has no concrete reason to give up its current, much more critical fight before that court for new hand counts in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. Possibly they'll have to add Broward County to that list. Boies' sweeping de novo request covers more than enough votes for Gore...
