FWIW Your 2000 vote was a good one in retrospect. I succumbed to fear, with no one prodding me then, to vote against Gore. I don't view the world in any aspect that way anymore. Realistically would Gore have been anything but a one termer? Do you think we would not be killing jihadis somewhere and strengthening our security? We would be voting an incumbent Pubbie to his second term right now is my guess. Maybe a George Allen or the like. If 9/11 had happened on Gore's watch Bush would not have been the nominee to challenge him.

But it's all speculation and speculation and assumptions are not reality. They are only good for playing games.

In retrospect, 4 years of Algore would have quite possibly been a very good thing. It might have caused the conservative shake down that is happening now. Back then would have been a good time to do that, NOT 9 months before an election as it is now. :-)

But hey...if I wish in one hand and spit in the other....ah, you know the saying. :-)
