with my hindsight nearly 20/20, and in light of how Gore was discontinued by his higher ups (remember he said he has the fight in him, etc. Like any other human would in his unique position, he had to have been craving absolution, if not revenge, not to mention the ultimate achievement in politics, the Presidency, which was his goal for how many years?) while those allowed (and/or chosen) to run in his place were hardly better qualified, let alone more talented. The traditional heirarchical standards which were followed in 2000 (what opposition did Gore have then?) simply discarded this time, you really gotta say WTF? My feeling is that Gore was forced or simply evolved into a public position of more progressive/populist politics, and that didnt sit well with the puppetmasters (call them the corporate media owners and their major business interests like pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals and other industrial overlords), who certainly had more say in the way Selection 2000 was played out, with no small assistance from their front people like Lieberman, Brazile, their brethren, and very good friends, in the Bush familia and a plethora of folks that have more in common with Bob Novak than we would like to give them credit for. I believe Gore's pent up environmental concerns (which the Clinton years turned THEIR back on ) were a threat to the real masters of American democracy.
Hard not to notice the anti-progressive propaganda campaign of post 2000, laying non stop blame to Nader and his supporters when reality suggests they werent relevant in comparison to crossover Dems going for Bush in far more significant numbers. Democratic Senators failing to support CBC demands for the decent protection of voters rights. There was, if you will excuse me, a black hole when it came to the violated rights of black voters in Florida, not a word was to be spoken about it by those in control of the situation. Of course the 14th amendment rights of Bush coupmasters were utmost in the SCOTUS coup rulings. We deserved a rebellion, but there was only submission. Broken faith and ultimate betrayal by the one big party. "Get over it", someone said. No self interest there.
