Without that scandal, there is no question that Gore would have been elected the 43rd president of the United States. Even with that heavy baggage, he managed to win the popular vote.

I've noticed during the course of many, if not all the, time, when the democrats mention this, they almost always fail to mention their little part in it--the DUI. Sure, Gore won the popular vote even *with* all that "heavy baggage," but those on the other side who constantly proclaim this don't like to mention the only way they did it was with the dirty trick they pulled.

And I really like how some dems deride W's victory as being so narrow, *only* 3+ million vote difference. Someone tell me how Gore's 500K+ popular vote is something to constantly hoot about, but 3+ million isn't?

Actually, Gore did not win the popular vote: both he and Bush got under 50%. "winning the popular vote" doesn't make much sense unless you have a majority.
