summer, in order for your thesis to be true...
It's not "my" thesis. I wrote in my editorial about actual events. Dick Morris also wrote about actual events. Read Dick Morris' book. I don't even know Dick Morris, but it's kind of amazing that he, and media sources as diverse as a local magazine and a national radio show (and me on my computer) -- and Dick Morris -- all say the same basic thing: there was an explosive issue here. Al Gore ignored it. Voters walked away from him. And, BTW, folks -- that's how one LOSES an election!
I'm thinking now Al Gore has been in denial on this as much as you are now, and that's why it tool the WP over a year to hit the keyboard.

Sorry for crediting this thesis to you, but it seems as though you live and die by it.
Did environmentalists "trust" Al Gore in 2000? I don't know. None of us can read minds. The only question we can answer conclusively is, did Al Gore's environmental record harm him in 2000? The answer is no. See the post above.
The Greens may have hated Al Gore in 2000 but the truth is, they hated George Dubya more. The election did not turn on their votes. The numbers prove it. Argue with the numbers if you don't like the truth.
