Crazy to think we were that close to removing Clinton from office.
Gore would have moved into the presidency. And Bush would have had a much harder time getting elected. Maybe.
Oh how for a few votes things might look much different!
I said the same thing back then and pointed out that Demo strategists should have put on their "statesman" suits to give the word to Billy Jeff that he ought to fall on his sword for the good of the party. While that might have meant we'd have seen Gore elected in 2000, it's far from certain.
