of the things to watch here is that it looks like we re going to have a senate recount and a gubernatorial recount. there may also be another statewide race that is recounted. something about the interaction of all those multiple recount efforts may itself be not a replay of 2000 but something that is basically unprecedented and may be its own level of complication. this florida story is going to get even crazier than it is right now over the course of this weekend. sorry, you re going to have to pay attention to the news this weekend. we ll be right back. -trash can, turn on the tv. -my pleasure. -ice dispenser, find me a dog sitter. -okay. -and make ice. -pizza delivered. -what s happened to my son? -i think that s just what people are like now. i mean, with progressive, you can quote your insurance on just about any device. even on social media. he ll be fine. -[ laughs ] -will he? -i don t know.
