Here's a great thread to start with:



Collision Course [The real reason Al Gore lost FL in 2000]

[Friedrich Hayek]

summer, God love you, but you're crazy. You're missing the forest because you're obsessing on this one tree. You've taken one issue that is important to you, and made the assumption that it was important to everyone else. It wasn't.

And frankly, it doesn't matter what you wrote in January of 2002, because the election was held in Nov., 2000. Hindsight is always 20/20.

Look at the news sources you are quoting: the Washington Post, and NPR. Doesn't that tell you something?

These sources want you to believe that Gore lost Florida because he lost the environmental vote; that he wasn't liberal enough. But you of all people should know that Gore lost because he was too liberal. On question after question, Soc. Sec., taxes, the environment, the military, Elian, Bush was closer to the mainstream than Al Gore was.

Don't buy into the liberal spin.

BTW, I just went to your link, and the thread generated absolutely no insight into how the Everglades airport issue might, or might not, have affected Florida voting in Nov., 2000. (It too was written after the election, with the benefit of hindsight.)
