But on the other hand, I'm glad Bush didn't have to run against President Al Gore in 2000.

Are you saying the only way Bush won...was the Supreme Court gave it too him?

Who are you?????

That's not what they're saying at all.

If Clinton had been removed from office Gore would have been "President Gore" during the 2000 election.

I think he meant if Clinton was removed from office and Gore was President, Bush would have run against Gore in 2000.

He's not saying that. He's saying that the fact that Clinton wasn't removed saved Bush from having to run against Gore as an incumbent President.

I am saying that if Clinton was impeached AND convicted, he would have been forced from office.

And VP Al Gore would have been sworn in as president in 1999.

George Bush would have run in 2000 against a SITTING president.

IMO, Gore would have been much harder to beat if he was the incumbent president.
