Yup.
Gore almost won.
Kerry almost won.
Gore lost by a statistical fluke involving only a couple hundred ballots.
Kerry lost only by the rantings of a few dozen veterans.
Both did nearly everything they could to sabatoge their own runs.
Yet they very nearly won.
Hillary, despite all our digs, has a passionate loyal following, became the carpet-bagging Senator from a state that should have despised her, has a team that won the White House twice before, and has been crafting her 2008 run for DECADES.
If Gore & Kerry could come that close to winning, Hillary can't lose.
And the Republicans still have nobody to run.
