Where were you, news junkie???I was paying attention to real news not this revisionist nonsense :).

OK, Perhaps you're right - like many liberal news media said, maybe Gore won, maybe Jeb stole the election. But my claim is correct here: people vote on local issues. Argue all you want with yourself on that one -- you'll never win. Like I said: good thing you're not trying to make a living as a political strategist! Thanks for your posts! :)

Here is the link about Dick Morris' book:
Al Gore and Dick Morris turn the spotlight on: the Nader voters
Not that I think you'll read it, but, I did say I would post it.
BTW, I enjoyed sparring with you, and I hope you are not upset in any way. Maybe we can agree on two things:
(1) Gore lost FL, WV and TN.
(2) Gore must have made some bad decisions and mistakes to lose those three states.
Now, why exactly Gore lost WV and TN, I don't really know. But, maybe someone on this forum from WV and someone else from TN could add some insight.
As to FL, since I am here in FL, I can offer my opinion on FL. And, I did. In this editorial. You can disagree. And, you did. So, while we disagree on details, such as what issues had more of an impact on FL voters, well, I can still thank you for taking the time to post. Thank you. :)

And, as I reread the above link in my post #83, I think what this Washington Post article represents may just be a decision by Al Gore to do more to reach out to people who did not support him in 2000. And, to do more, he first must confront what happened in FL.
This WP article states that his people and the environmental groups now agree on this: Al Gore lost the election, and his loss involved the proposed commercial airport in the Everglades issue. Others can disagree. But, Al Gore's people and the FL environmentalists reportedly now agree. They have not appeared to me to agree in a long time.
Will this help Dem candidates for FL gov in 2002? Will it help Dems in 2004?
I am sure it is already too late for Dems in 2002 in FL. And, I have a feeling it is too late for Al Gore in 2004 in FL.
