Just to set the record straight (unlike Ron) didn't President Bush win every recount?

He won the vast majority - and the specific recounts that Gore wanted. Whether this counting would have come out the same way with a bunch of partisan Democrat hacks in a backroom doing the counting is a rather more dubious distinction of course.

The heart of the matter though is that frankly Bush won after the automated recount confirmed his status as winner. All the other recounts were in violation of Florida law - even if abetted by a rogue FL SC.

I believe he did win every valid recount (i.e. with reasonable counting standards).

I think there was one out of 15 scenerios were Gore could have won. IIR it was one of the scenerios were their where the judges had to decide how the voter meant to vote because their were either no votes for President or votes for more than one candidate.

The truth is that IF Gore had won even one of those recounts he would be president today.
