The conciliatory words came a day after Gov. George W. Bush's campaign and its surrogates accused the Democrats of a systematic campaign to have military votes, which are presumed to strongly favor Mr. Bush, thrown out, while some service members voiced anger at that possibility.
"We're getting kicked around for saying illegal votes are illegal votes," said a Democratic congressman from Florida. "The Republicans got a lot of illegal votes counted on Friday that never would have been let in before, and now we're the ones retreating? Incredible."
Telephone: Gore is going ballistic, what the hell just happened?
Klain: I think Joe Lieberman just entered the 2004 primaries. <correction> (h/t seth)
Thanks, Joe. Help John McCain all you want.
