I guess you would rather have had Gore for the last 6 years???
Bush would not have had such a rough time with Gore had he not allowed Gore to run on the same platform as him. If Gore had not been tied to scandal he would have beat Bush in a landslide. The GOP looses usually when running Liberal. Bush ran moderate/liberal in 2000 and Gore had no problems running right of him. I will say this and you can bookmark these words. If the GOP runs a moderate in 2008 for POTUS you will see Hillary win because she will run a to the right campaign. You can save this thread quote me on it I'm so sure of it. It's not something I wish to see happen by any means but a simple reality off it.
In 2000 when everyone in here was saying Bush had it all wrapped up for an easy win over Gore I said if he won it would be very close because Gore played Me Too Politics has dad taught him. I honestly expected Bush to loose due to him telling the conservative base to kiss off and his arrogance toward conservative leaders both elected and in organizations.
Bush won against Kerry and it was narrow. Had Joe Liberman gotten the nod or anyone else besides Kerry who stayed hard left Bush would have likely been booted out in 2004 as well. Hillary is not as politically stupid as John Kerry. The GOP better wake up.
