Bush/Cheney v Gore/Kerry

[California Dreamer]

Jonh Kerry was Gore's 2nd choice...in such a close election would it have made a difference

Lieberman was a comprimise choice, much of which was trying to provide cover for the Clinton indescesions. Lieberman was the 'moral authority'. Had Clinton not been caught playing hide the cigar Kerry would have been the VP nominee.

so...would Kerry have helped carry any other states? like New Hampshire?

would Nader have got less support with a less conservative VP?

excelent points JFK

one only needs to look at democratic primaries of this year to see that there is no such thing as 'joementum'...Kerry would have been a much better VP candidate and would have excelled in the traditional role of 'attack dog', allowing Gore to remain 'presidential'.

As it turned out Lieberman was waay to much of Mr Nice guy.  He is a good man, but a bad candidate.

I feel fairly certain Gore would have won with Kerry on the ticket.
