Subject: A letter to the editor re. “A Gore Coup d'Etat?” - a WSJ Editorial (Nov. 10, 2000)

Dear Ned,

In your Nov. 10 REVIEW & OUTLOOK piece, headlined "A Gore Coup d'Etat?," the Journal editors write:

"The cliff-hanging Florida results won't be final until the absentee-ballot deadline of November 17, but yesterday Gore campaign head William Daley told a news conference that no amount of recounting would do. Only one outcome would be acceptable "If the will of the people is to prevail, Al Gore should be awarded a victory in Florida and be our next President." And if the election results don't do that, the Gore campaign will try to find a judge to do it instead. In your ordinary banana republic, this would be recognized as a Gore coup d'etat." [...]

As John F. Kennedy put it, "if you make peaceful change impossible... you make violent revolution inevitable."  Why are the Democrats no longer quoting Kennedy? Because they see too much blood and Gore in his statement?
