Bush vs. Gore 2000 with no Bush DUI story

[Derek]

Tell you what a DUI is a learning experience. Bush should have came out with his DUI story in March of that year and not allowed people to forget what his lessons learned were. He should have joined MADD and gotten involved with them somehow. I've gotten a DUI, I've talked to MADD, it is quite an experience to learn from. Had he done that, conservatives who did not vote on election day that year would've seen him as very human and been able to relate to him as a fellow human learning from a mistake. I'm not sure what W was thinking here.

[Derek]

Hey, tell me we're finally agreeing on something! That was a big error on Bush's behalf not to use it as a learning experience.

[Derek]

I wouldn't have seen 2000 being close and would've predicted a 51-47 victory for Bush with an electoral amount in the mid-lower 300s. While expecting FL to go to him by 5-7. I don't see why FL is close at the presidential level. That state is very conservative internally, has some of the most libertarian laws, and has been run by the GOP in Tallahassee for over a decade. Another thing is if you look at close elections where the GOP loses it still goes to the Republicans. Only when Democrats win in landslides have they carried FL by even small margins.

[Derek]

I don't remember him saying he did cocaine.

[Derek]

that's what they're called

[Derek]

i took mine all the way to a jury trial

beating a DUI is unheard of

[Derek]

What state are you from? In PA it's automatically a year without a license and the same consequences for having a DUI if you refuse to blow or do the testing. The tests though are NOT PERMISSABLE IN COURT other than blood tests and non-portable breathalizers.

[Derek]

Alabama is a good state for alot of reasons, mainly its conservatism.

[Derek]

Lol yea are democrats here are republicans, and our republicans are nazi's. There more neo-cons instead of conservatives.

I can't tell what party you're in lol. I'd say Alabama is to the right of me.

[Derek]

PV would be Bush 50-47
EV would be Bush 311-227

[Derek]

He should have used it to his advantage as if he learned something and hopefully he did learn something. It is inexcusable for him to leave that in the hands of the media.
