How many times must I remind you that the popular vote means nothing compared to the elecoral votes. Gore only won the popular vote by .5% . Not only that, even if he got Naders votes, he would have only gained 2.7% more votes. Not exactly the landslide that they were looking for since the current administration had been so popular.

I pointed out how many states were carried to show the glaring differences between the elections. I also pointed out how Clinton had more than double the electoral votes as his competition. Gore and Bush were neck and neck. It shouldn’t have been close. Even if Gore had won Florida and subsequently the election, the Dems would have been wondering why it was so close.

Gore didn’t even win his home state…Tennessee, a state the Clinton won the previous election.

Gore lost the entire Bible belt. Wonder why?

A successful administation and the sitting VP should not have lost the election. Even Clinton himself has admitted that he may have hurt Gores candidacy. Why is it so hard for you to accept it.

We have reached a point in this discussion where it is obviously pointless to continue. You are going to continue to believe what you want to and I’m not changing my mind on this issue either. I am not interested in going any further with this so you can have th rest of this thread to yourself. I will not be back. C-ya.

LOL!!!! At least white feminists have been nothing else but consistent for the last 100+ years…

And it may not come down to race, patriarchy may trump race. I sincerely doubt that a woman with Obama’s limited National electoral background would be where he is today.

why don’t you want to acknowledge that Clinton had favorable approval ratings during the Gore campaign and after he left the white house? You know why? because it’s convenient for you to just use Bill Clinton as a scapegoat instead of looking more closely at other compounding variables that contributed to his demise. The fact that Bush carried 30- Gores 20 States means little when Gore not only won the popular vote and only lost by four or five electoral college votes. If Gore had won Florida than Bush would have lost the election having won 29 states to Gore’s 21. You say that it shouldn’t have come down to Florida, but there were other battleground states that were split by third party votes. So it’s not a matter or who won more states than the other.

Your Bill Clinton culprit tunnel vision is keeping you from placing blame on the man who was running the campaign himself, Al Gore. And yes, a third party candidate can gain enough traction to split a vote? Nader voters leaned heavily liberal or independent, something that Gore wasn’t. Many of which were looking for an alternative to the two party system and voted for Nader. Nader took nearly 100K votes in Florida which would have put Gore up and over the top. Nader split the vote in battleground states that made a difference when all was said and done. Those people voting for Ralph weren’t voting for him because of Bill’s affair.

To you, if Monica-gate hadn’t happened, then Gore would have won, and it’s just not that simple. The country was coming out of recession at the end of Bush senior’s term, when the Clintons came into power, and even without any scandalous affairs and a growing economy, the republicans still managed to take over the House and Senate in 1994. Was that Bill’s fault too? What about Gore’s choice of Liberman as a running mate? You don’t think that didn’t make people in “red states” raise eyebrows? Of course it didn’t. Cause it was all Bill’s fault!

What about Iowa. Obamas support came from majority whites. Bill Clinton enjoyed a majority of the “black vote in SC when he ran.” I bet you didnt say it was about race then. The only reason you think its about race now is because an actual black man is running.

Micheles’ comments came almost a year ago.

Micheles’ comments were also based on facts. Billarys attack comments have been consisitent and recent. Billarys comments have also distorted the truth and have been aimed at polarizing Obama.

Heed your own advice. You need to wake up and get smart.
