  •  While Gore in many ways did win... (0+ / 0-)

    ...if he had run a better campaign he could have won by a margin that couldn't have been overturned.  There are many reasons why Gore "lost."

    •  Too bad he didn't have you as advisor, then! (0+ / 0-)

      It's kind of obvious that every close loss could've been averted with a "better" campaign.  But Gore's choice of Lieberman wasn't so obviously bad back then, and Nader, Rehnquist, Thomas, Kennedy, Sandra whatshername, and Scalia helped fuck up the country and the world.

      •  Gore lost because....IMPEACHMENT (0+ / 0-)

        Don't know why Dems in leadership today are so cockeyed that they believe the exact opposite message from the truth: Clinton was impeached, and Bush got elected promising to "restore integrity."

        Why in God's name they aren't standing up to this NAZI and pointing out what kind of "integrity" he has brought us, I don't know.

        It's plain as day that voters believed Bush's con job in 2000, and they believed it because they wanted to believe it, BECAUSE Clinton was impeached.

        so, why doesn't THAT apply to this fascist we have in the White House who comes up with new ways to shit on the constitution and commit crimes nearly every day? Ask Pelosi. I don't know who is drugging her daily, but what a cocktail!

    •  Gore overcame double digit deficits (5+ / 0-)

      to win the popular vote despite:

      1. Clinton scandals
      1. media smears
      1. Nader factor
