135. Gore lost because the election was stolen.
Or hadn't you heard that?

It also didn't help that his campaign was badly mismanaged and that the MSM served as the GOP's PR firm.
But if it makes you feel better to believe the fairy tale that liberals cost the election, I'm not going to explode your little faith-based fantasy.

As for Kerry, he voted to give a demonstrably dishonest, military fuckup a blank check to bomb Iraq. The vast majority of delegates at the Democratic National Convention disagreed with him. Nice. Like many of my fellow Democrats, I worked hard to get out the vote in 2004, although my heart wasn't in it: Our goal was ABB, not JFK. Not exactly inspiring.

Once again, the election was "lost" in 2004 because it was stolen. But let's ignore that and keep moving further and further right, robbing the Democratic Party of the courage and vision that can still make it great.

Go ahead. Keep lowering your expectations. You'll eventually hit bottom.

Or, as Earl Weaver once put it, "If you play for one run, that's all you'll get"
