Sure , everyone focused on Florida, but if albore had won his "home" state of Tennessee it would have been moot. Florida is just one of many places that deserve credit for us not having a national nightmare on our hands right now. Give us vols some credit too

You're right! You deserve HUGE credit, and I LOVE YOU for saving us from "that man"!

At the time, many of us working against Gore in his home state thought that a poor showing there might have an effect on the later voters on the West coast; we should have known the networks would do all they could to stall and delay the reporting of his embarrassment until the left-coast polls had closed. But the additional result of denying what proved to be the critical electoral votes from Tennessee was certainly a welcome side benefit, and the humiliation of losing in his home state, his home county and his home precinct does not help Gore's chances for a future comeback, either.

But though it was hardly the work of any one individual, there are those who deserve special recognition for their hard work and sacrifice during that period. What they did just may have saved this country from irreparable damage.
