Time to sue.
It looks like there's some question about whether Bush should actually be on the ballot in Florida.

WWRD? (What would Rove do?) I'm betting that Rove would have some "third parties" in Florida sue and raise hell to "clarify" the matter.

Does the Kerry Campaign have the nerve? You can't bring an etiquette book to a knife fight--- and expect to win.

From the St. Petersburg Times:

State law sets a Sept. 1 deadline for the governor to certify a list of presidential electors for each party's candidates.

But Sept. 1 was also the day President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney were being nominated at their party' convention in New York. Consequently, some of their paperwork did not arrive at state elections headquarters until Sept. 2, a day after Gov. Jeb Bush certified the candidates for president.

<...>
Spokeswoman Jenny Nash said Friday the law is clear: The deadline applies to the governor and the list of presidential electors, not to the candidates themselves. The list of Republican electors released by Hood's office does not show a time stamp indicating when the document was received by the state.

Democrats said they aren't so sure, but they won't challenge the Bush campaign's papers.

1. I'm sure Bush and Cheney are in charge of turning in their own
paperwork. Like being at the convention is actually an excuse.
