Recount Page #3

You did a great job.

All of you, great job.

Area clear.

Are you okay?

We've learned that the Vice President

is on his way

to deliver his concession speech

at the War Memorial Plaza

here in Nashville.

Can't say enough about

the race George Bush ran...

...but let no person say

that Al Gore did not

pour himself into this campaign...

- Ron Klain.

- It's Fournier.

I've got no comment at this time, Ron.

Why did Gore concede?

Hang on a second.

Why did Gore concede?

Because we lost the election, Ron.

Jeremy, get Nick Baldick.

Hurry up.

Ron, The Associated Press

has different numbers than the networks.

What?

The networks have all called it.

Gore conceded. He's on his way

to the Plaza right now...

All I'm saying is the oldest

news organization in the country

has not yet called this election.

We still believe Florida's

too close to call. I don't understand

what the hell you guys are doing

- What is it?

- I'll call you back, Ron.

You have reached Bill Daley.

Please leave a message.

Damn it.

- Ron Klain.

- Ron, I think

the networks have the wrong numbers.

It's gonna sound insane...

I just got off with Baldick...

A machine in Volusia went crazy.

Get this... it actually added

and subtracted thousands

of votes from Gore. It went backwards.

Gore's count right now

is negative 16,000 in that county.

- So what are the real numbers?

- When you recalculate

the entire state,

we're down by less than 15,000.

- So it's a machine recount.

- We're still alive.

Wait, no. Gore conceded to Bush.

He's on his way to the plaza.

- You're f***in' kiddin' me

- Didn't you see the news?

The networks all called it.

Jesus. Hang on.

Guys, what's happening?

What's going on?

...two senior Gore campaign officials

that the Vice President placed

a phone call to the Texas Governor.

The Vice President

is now in his motorcade

due here in Downtown Nashville

in just a few minutes

to deliver remarks...

Jesus Christ.

- Get me Bill Daley.

- No no, I can't get him.

I've been trying.

I can't reach anybody.

- What the hell is going on here?

- Wait, Daley...

You can reach him through

the white house signal office. Try that.

Yeah.

No word from the Gore campaign yet.

We've tried king a few phone calls...

F***.

- Damn it.

- Try Lehane, he might be there already.

Good idea.

No, he's not in this book.

The networks got it wrong

twice in the same night?

- We're going to a machine recount.

- We need to stop him

before he goes on stage. Whatever

happens, he can't make his speech.

- Who's gonna grab him?

- Morehouse. We'll intercept at the car.

Get me David Morehouse.

We will hear from the Vice President,

we're told, in about 15 minutes.
