The Gore campaign strategy is crystal clear, ... Keep conducting selective recounts. Keep filing selective lawsuits, keep making false charges that divert attention, and keep refusing to accept any deadline until the results change.
The Gore campaign ought to agree with us that we will go with the automatic recount, ... They should say, 'OK, we will stop all these shenanigans. We will stop calling for recounts.'
The Gore campaign is asking for a third recount here. We can go into Wisconsin, we can go into Iowa and start recounting,
The Gore campaign has refused to achieve finality unless they achieve the result they are seeking,
We wouldn't be in this position if the Gore campaign had been willing to accept the results of the recount in Florida, ... They want these recounts to be in counties where they have these large margins. We don't think that's fair.

Our studies show that, averaged across all users, the utilization is less than 1 percent of the total capacity.

We're confident that Sky One continues to bring the best from the US with 'Weeds' set to mirror its emphatic US reception from audiences and critics alike, 'Threshold' exhibiting the potential for an 'X-Files' style cross-over success and returning series 'Nip/Tuck' and 'The 4400' continuing to captivate audiences.

We are aware that there have been some complaints filed in terms of pre-election activities by way of efforts to buy votes, ... We're not sure of the significance of those.
We think this ruling is inconsistent with Florida law, federal law and the United States Constitution. We have no alternative but to appeal to U.S. Supreme Court for relief, ... We have already put in motion a process to do that.
There are no uniform, objective standards here. It's all subjective,
We have already lost something like 10 percent of our reefs. Two-thirds of them are under great stress, and we expect that if we don't do something we may lose another 30 percent in the next 10 to 20 years.
