Do you disagree that Gore has moved from the center? Regardless of the details of the 2000 election, Gore lost. When Nixon lost he gave his "Checkers speech". No one likes a loser, and Gore acted like a loser, not unlike Nixon once upon a time.

But who would have thought that Nixon could become the phoenix rising from the ashes? If this does not make my point about the fickleness of the electorate then nothing will.

So too...Gore could rise from the ashes. I'm thinking that Gore was so off put by Bush's unilateralism and the damage he has done to our country, that he was looking to throw his support behind the front runner. At that moment he saw Dean as the best chance to unseat Bush. He prematurely threw his support to Dean. I never thought it was a good move for Gore to support Dean. I think it was Gore's angry reaction to Bush. There's a lot of anger in the country and the world towards Bush.

Had the outcome of the prior election not been so hotly contested, and bemoaned by Gore supporters
to this very date, you might have a point.

There's never been a losing candidate whose supporters have not bemoaned the loss. Get a clue! In a tight and contested race such as 2000, that angst would naturally be amplified.
