The next step by Gregoire will the most telling. If she request a hand recount in only democratic counties, there will be a backlash, because it will show that only all the democratic votes need be counted. If she orders a hand recount of the entire state, then maybe she actually cares that all the votes are counted. If she concedes, it will be seen a magnanomous gesture.
The problem with Gore's recount in Florida is that it only targeted areas in which he felt he could gain votes. This became really obvious when Miame-Dade was in the process of being recounted, and Bush was gaining votes in the Democratic preceincts and the Gore team ordered that county to stop recounting, thus reverting back to it's original totals.
