DescriptionIt's unusual, lawyers say, to get to the end of presenting your case and have no idea what the judge thinks of it.

Yet that's the flavor here as the cryptic Judge John Bridges will decide Monday who won the state's 2004 election for governor.

Most judges try not to telegraph how they will rule. But this guy has been as inscrutable as a sphinx.

Even his major rulings this spring, which presumably he meant to be clear, were so ambiguous that lawyers continue to debate them here at the trial's close.

I can't blame him. I've sat through a lot of trials over the years, and this one is as slippery and inconclusive as they come.
