Problem was, the Kemp that showed up was Neutered, and was forced to spew crap he didn't really believe. It was horrible. They should have adopted his platform and let him lead from the VP spot. That would have been their only hope to get the masses excited.
We could have knocked off Willy with a decent candidate. Tragic waste of an opportunity!
He was in full "I'm a Republican, but I'm not a racist!" mode. He's always tended to do that. And he says , "In my view ..." all the time, which I learned in grade school, is stupid. He was apologizing for being right and appeared unprepared to boot. He should have destroyed Gore and blew it. Broke my heart.
