Recounts and Rove

As an afterthought to the reader comment below, Josh warns that a Virginia recount would allow Rove plenty of opportunity to use his arsenal of dirty tricks, as he's done in Alabama before. My response would be that this race is much more in the lime-light and that the glare of national attention would make it much more difficult for him. A US Senate race is much different -- at least I hope so -- than an Alabama state race. And if the Senate power balance really comes down to a Virginia recount, every lawyer in each party is going to be heading there.
