Even repugs admit Clinton would have won over Bush in 2000!

[LittleApple81]

If Clinton had been able to run in 2000, even repugs admit he would have won over Bush! That was too funny. (I watched "Conservatism and the Republican Party" earlier on in C-Span. The speaker asked the audience (around 150 repugs) and only 4 thought Bush would have won!

1. I can't believe they admitted that!

Of course, it's true, but I still can't believe they admitted it.

2. Do not mess with the Big Dog.

The Big Dog's approval rating only goes up when you try to impeach him.

The Big Dog will just walk out of the room if you ask him questions he doesn't want to answer during a deposition.

The Big Dog shot holes into your so-called "southern strategy".

The worst you can do to the Big Dog is maybe get him to "triangulate" but that's it plus you still get all mad at what he walked away with.

The Big Dog thinks that it would be allowable to have a third non-consecutive turn as president which means the Big Dog wants to come back.

3. That's why I call Gore a loser.

Clinton handed him a winning combination, AND GORE BLEW IT!!! Gore should have won in a landslide. He should have buried Bush v.2. But he was such a stumbler that he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, and managed to look bad doing it. He should have won by such a margin that the cheating and bad luck, (The poorly designed ballot was bad luck. A Dem designed it, and a Dem committe approved it.) would not have made a difference. You can cheat a little here and a little there but you can't make up for a landslide, and Gore should have had a landslide.:mad:

4. Gore ran a bad campaign

This is true. However, all the "X" factors- and I mean just about every damn intangible imaginable in a presidential election- went against him.
And the media damned him while they praised W for being a cutesy, regular-american-joe...
It was a terrible mistake to shun the Big Dog from his campaign, but the fact is people were still pissed about Monica gate and Gore couldn't have that baggage. It's stupid, yes, beyond stupid that it came down to it...

9. He should have brought Clinton in closer.

If I write any about that, I'll write paragraphs. It makes me steamed at Gore. He was already associated with Clinton from 8 years as his VP, he should have taken advantage of that instead of trying to distance himself from it. I don't think the Monica thing mattered to Joe Average as much as it is said to. But Gore seemed disloyal and ungrateful for shunning the Big Dog. I better shut up, or I'll wear out my keyboard on that one.

16. Rolling Stone published an article entitled "The Press vs. Al Gore"

Don't know if it is still available but it is VERY damning ... of the press, not the candidate.

[WindRavenX]

17. I read that, it was excellent

It also featured Gore on the cover, which if I can recall, caused a flood of reader mail regarding his, um, package...
Is that the article you refer to?

5. As much as I love Clinton the truth is that Gore received more votes than

any Presidential candidate ever with the exception of Reagan. Clinton may have lost in 1992 if Perot were not in the race. Gore did win big, but just didn't realize the criminal capabilities of his opponents. He isn't the one who committed election fraud the other side is. He won! He should be back here now running against Bush, but for some unknown reason the Democratic party wants to lose in 2004!

6. Polulation was smaller then. Percentage is what counts.

Comparing the absolute number of votes is meaningless. It is like comparing the absolute gross sales of "Gone with the Wind" vs. the latest "Star Wars". Star Wars wins because there has been almost 70 years of inflation. The country is a lot bigger now than then.

I stand by what I said: Gore should have won by a landslide and he blew it.

[Catherine Vincent]

8. Now that all of that is in the past, I say there is a reason

Gore is not in the White House. We will just have to figure it out.

[Clark Can WIN]

7. That's why they want Hillary in so bad

That way they can finally have their Bush over Clinton victory.

10. I agree, Clark is our best chance. My wife likes him too.

13. Waste of time

Isn't discussing the outcome of an election that could have never ever taken place nothing more than mental masturbation?

[MISSDem]

14. Bill Clinton is so adored that

he used the "N" word in a speech at a black awards gala the other night and no one even blinked.

15. are you sure

you are not talking about Cruz Bustamante?
