To my Democratic fans, do AMERICA a favor and accept that, nearly 4 years later, you lost the 2000 Presidential election. And its more than Florida, it's Tennessee. If you guys could only win Gore's HOME STATE. The state that elected him Senator and went for Clinton twice. All you had to do was win there and even if Bush got Florida, Tennessee would have been enough for Gore to win. But guess what? Neither Tennessee nor Florida wanted Gore. You lost. It's done.
I agree. It was all Gore's fault.
Yes, Florida was a mess and it shouldn't have happened the way it did (and hopefully nothing like that will be repeated), but.. Gore should have won his home state! and NH and WV, and even NV!
Given the state of the economy back then, Clinton's approval ratings, etc., the defeat can only be explained by Gore's incompetence.
Even if I could also write dozens of reasons why I believe W has been a bad president, Gore proved that he was not up to it either (for a sample, just look at his great gratitude towards Lieberman by betraying him and endorsing Dean).
