Although I am still displeased with the outcome, election night 2000 was the most exciting evening that I have ever been a part of.

Dose anyone think Gore will run again?

No.  He is done.

It is nice of you to bother with all these questions, Dave.

I do it out of habit.
But I still am not sure if you were talking to me with that statement.

What do you mean? Wasn't it you who stated Dave as first name (I saw the name David on your forum). Or are you referring to something else?

Yes, I am Dave. I thought that you may have been talking to Dave Leip, as he puts up with Prez's multiple posts.  Sorry about the misunderstanding

Ahhh...I get it! Dave Leip seems to put up with everything we write, which is nice in a way.

It is nice, but also strange.....
Some people like Mr. Prez would piss me off if they were at my board.

He was talking to me, I'm pretty sure.

Can you blame Gore?  If you had been US Grant or Horatio Seymour in 1868 would you have wanted the impeached, reviled Andrew Johnson campaigning for you?

This is a different situation.  Clinton's job rating was still near 70% towards the end of his presidency.

As MiamiU points out, Clinton would probably have helped Gore despite all the allegiations against him. He would probably have done a tremendous difference in Arkansas, and in other close southern states, like Tennesee or Missouri. That could have been enough to give Gore the election.

If Gore had won one more state he would have won the election.  Clinton could have gooten him Arkansas, no doubt.

ok accepting your premise that Gore made a very poor decision in not having Clinton come along, whcich I do believe was a dumb move.  Have Clinton live in AR and go to big fundraisers if nothing else for party functions.

Aren't you glad this poor decision maker that has changed who he was many times without the pressures of being President Lost?  I don't think he would have handled the foreign policy challenges half as well as Bush has done.

Gore ran a bad campaign, that doesn't make him a bad president.

Gore ran a perfectly fine campaign.  Democrats are too hard on Gore.  He didn't run a perfect campaign, but neither did Bush.  Both have 20/20 hindsight suggestions I'm sure. Bush spent money the last week on states that he lost by double digits like CA and NJ.  Gore did a great job of holding down Nader's vote.

Gore ran a pretty weak campaign.  He was boring as hell and carried no message.

Kerry and Gephardt most likely would amount to the same thing, but worse since they hadn't served under a popular president for 8 years.
