And Gore was my first choice too.

In an election people all over the country are given a voice and a choice. Turnouts and voter interest has been unprecedented, and either candidate against McCain is an even match. How does anyone justify the party leadership tossing them both out and hand-picking somebody else? I can't imagine a political party surviving that in this country. It suggests complete desperation, where the situation is in fact anything but desperate (in spite of how it might appear in the GDP from time to time).
