Gore v. McCain

[NHPolitico]

A massacre. A bloodbath.  McCain-(Fred) Thompson, maybe?  I'm still pining for a Bush-McCain ticket this year.  I believe in miracles!

Miami, Who would you have voted for?

McCain, unless he appointed a right-wing horror to the VP slot.

Who do you think would have been his VP nominee? I'd say Lamar Alexander or Elizabeth Dole.

Probably someone either southern or Midwest-- Alexander, Fred Thompson (not Dole, IMO).  Maybe Engler or Ridge. Even worse for Gore--> McCain-Powell!  Man, a McCain nomination would have been freakin' awesome.

McCain may have lost... his temper that is.  If he had flashed his temper during the election, it may have had a Dean Effect and resulted in a loss.

The thing is that McCain came off as fiesty and also could get a pass for it because of his Vietnam history.

About your sig...

Dan Quayle 2008
This should raise some eyebrows

... the sheer prospect frightens and mortifies me to scales which are beyond human comprehension.

Quayle 2008... Starts with Q -- just like courage!

Miami. You are left liberal. How you can favour McCain?

I like McCain, he is a moderate and a straight-talker.

I don't agree with everything he does, but I don't agree with everything Bush does, either.  I'd guess that McCain could win the presidency if it was a vote by Atlas Forum citizens.

I am a gore fan, I guess.  But I like McCain better

I went to McCain's Senate office last September when I was in DC. He has a huge wall covered in photos of his family. I thought that was nice.

What's a troll?

Well, I'm sure that you know what a troll is, but I'll tell you anyway.

A troll is a poster at a forum whose lone purpose is either to:

a. stir up strouble
b. be funny
c. pretend to be a member of the other political party, in order to make a satire of the other party.

You fit into category b, and maybe a little bit of c.  You may be a conservative making fun of the Deanies.  But your incessant posting on the subject of Howard Dean leads me (and everybody else) to believe that you are a troll.  

You're feeding the troll. Starve the troll!

[NHPolitico]

He's not even funny like John.

Let's not have favouritism! All trolls deserve some recognition for their work!

We'll erect a Troll Hall of Fame, eh? Make them charter members.

This poll done by CNN on March 30, 2000, shows John McCain with a 59-35% lead on all Gore in a hypothetical race.

Yep. It would have been an early champagne-popping evening on Election Night 2000.
