It was Gore's idiotic campaigning that really did it. If he embraced Clinton (who was wildly popular at the time), he would have won handily. Instead he was afraid that some people thought Clinton wasn't that good because of his affairs (who voted for Bush anyway).

HIs campaing was not stellar, you are correct, but the election was lost because of all the messes in the electoral system, the one in Florida not being the only one with porblems, but having the worse problems.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui

I remember all the polls done, and actually stories before the election from the Republicans wondering what would they do if they won the popular vote but Gore won the election .....If you don't like reality, change it! me

Did they? His party got far less a percentage of the vote than they had been anticipating. Besides, they were voting for the party, not the man.Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
If he violated his promises to his own followers why did so many of them vote for him then? That statement just doesn't make any sense.
Again...why isn't Nader being vetted by the Greens? Answer: They want nothing to do with him after 2000.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Yeah. In Texas, only dead natives can win.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

That's the immediate blame yes, but when you are looking for SOMEONE to blame, Gore shoots up over Nader.
His party got far less a percentage of the vote than they had been anticipating. Besides, they were voting for the party, not the man.
Highly doubt it. The Greens have NEVER gotten over 1% before Nader and they won't afterwards. His 'party' was expecting too high a percentage, just like the Republicans and Democrats have been known to do.
why isn't Nader being vetted by the Greens?
'Cause they are a bunch of morons who'd rather prefer 'ideological purity' and go back to only getting 1%.

Maybe Perot will throw his hat into the ring too. What a combination they could be, the feisty, slightly mad, texas billionaire and the loopy tree-hugger. I can see it now, a Perot/Nader ticket sweeping to victory in 04.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

It wasn't until a few months ago the Greens decided they weren't going to run a presidential candidate. Up to that point, they were debating Nader or nobody. The Greens are not pissed at Nader, just the Democrats.Originally posted by Boris Godunov
