>>Of course in fairness to Nader, 2000 was Gore *really* blowing it. I still find it almost impossible to believe he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory so badly. All the whining about the Supreme Court being paid stooges of the evil Bush clan is rubbish. He should have won that election by 10 points being a sitting VP after an 8 year feel-good run and actually being a pretty qualified guy.

>I wasn't as deep into the story at the time, but didn't he have two grindstones around his neck, one being "The vice prez of the guy we investigated so much" and the other being Lieberman as his vice?
don't think that was it at all. He conducted himself very well during the Clinton thing. And Lieberman should have been a big plus, rather than a negative. It was a good ticket - just a very mismanaged campaign thanks to clowns like Donna Brazil.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
