In 2000, we didn't have much of a choice. I wanted Quayle, but he flamed out early in the race, and we were left with Bush and the Hanoi Hilton Songbird, and I was not about to vote for the Songbird. In the general, I had to vote for Bush over Algore.
As bad as Bush was, we were fortunate that Algore wasn't president at the time of the 9/11 terrorist attacks

I’ve often thought about that. Gore would have bungled Afghanistan just the way W did. So it’s a tie there.
W appointed better judges than Gore would have. On the other hand, I doubt if Gore would have invaded Iraq.
If I had to do it all over again, I would have voted for neither man in 2000. And if I were forced to pick one, I’d bring a coin to the voting booth. A coin flip would make my decision.
Ugh.
