I expect that Gore will win the deadline extension, get the recounts in Dem counties for a few thousand extra votes, split the absentees, and then proclaim a "full, fair and accurate count" -- by early next week.
At which point in time the Bush campaign will ???????
Fold up shop and walk away?????
For what little it's worth:
I feel that, should your scenerio come to pass, we'll see the Republicans pulling out all the legal stops to do what they can to get a more favorable result (perhaps a lawsuit to invalidate the count and throw it all into a Republican dominated state legislature?)
Gore may be a very sleazy politician, but Bush is a politician as well and is supported by other politicians. Their objective is to WIN and they'll do whatever they legally can to do that.
