This has never happened in my lifetime and the Dems do not know what to do with themselves. How else to explain the support Al Gore has received against overwhelming odds, the law, and public opinion. Only desperation would drive the Democratic Party to support Al Gore now. I do not know if you have ever been desperate in your life. If not, you cannot really appreciate what a desperate man, or group will do.
Nothing is beyond consideration.
And for Al Gore, even if he is successful in his desperate attempts to wrest victory from the jaws of defeat, he will remain a desperate man. Al Gore and the Democratic Party have spent the last month attempting to ensure a George W. Bush presidency would be viewed as illegitimate. At the very least they have guaranteed that if Al Gore pulls off his petty theft, his presidency will be seen as stolen. So, if Al Gore makes it into the White House he will be desperate to do anything to make his presidency seem legitimate. No power grab will be too big.
