Lawyers for Al Gore and George W. Bush slogged through a second day of testimony about chads, voting machines and the vice president's pleas for a recount, while GOP running mate Dick Cheney said Sunday it's time for Gore to concede. Gore said he knows America is weary of the long election ordeal but counseled the country: "It won't last forever." As Democrats talked about the possibility of a gracious exit from the presidential contest, a circuit judge presided over a nearly 13-hour hearing Sunday on Gore's historic election protest and listened to closing arguments into the night. Judge N. Sanders said he would deliver his ruling on Monday morning. The vice president braced for the next round of legal action and attended church, where he heard a sermon titled, "A Time for Waiting." It was an apt metaphor for the longest, closest presidential contest in 124 years. Gore, testing Americans' willingness to wait as he exhausts his legal options, conducted an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes" as part of a public relations blitz. "At the end of the day, when all processes have taken place, if George Bush is sworn in as president he'll be my president. He'll be America's president," Gore said in the interview. He talked of the ordeal of uncertainty the entire country has gone through. by The Associated Press
