All Things Considered continues its coverage of the November 7th presidential election with analysis of a statement made tonight by Vice President Al Gore. The Democratic Vice Presidential candidate is contesting the results of the election in the state of Florida, arguing that thousands of votes remain uncounted. The Democrats further contend that if the uncounted votes are counted, Gore would be the winner in Florida, and therefore the president elect. Robert Siegel speaks with NPR's Don Gonyea in Washington. Also speaking with Robert are Bill Kristol, editor at the Weekly Standard, and E.J. Dionne, a columnist for the Washington Post and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.
