In a democracy, Pat Buchanan and his supporters have a voice as well. They don't hold power due to their low numbers, but they are entitled to be heard. LoF

LOL - what more do you expect from Buchannan - that's him - at least we know where he stands for gosh sakes. Perhaps he should be standing in an institution somewhere, but at least we know where he stands!

Good advise to Ralph actually: After President Clinton ticked off the states, including Florida, where Nader was hurting Gore, Brown's husband, Harry Evans, exclaimed: "I want to kill Nader!" "That's not a bad idea!" Sen.-elect Clinton replied with a big grin--immediately followed by a collective cry of "That's off the record!" washingtonpost.com

Al Gore should be regarded as the President-In-Waiting for the next four years. In 1824, Andrew Jackson won both the popular and electoral vote but did not achieve a majority. The House of Reps selected John Quincy Adams. 4 years later, Jackson ran again and won. In 1888, Grover Cleveland won the popular vote but lost the electoral vote to Bejamin Harrison. Four years later, Cleveland ran again and won. If Bush becomes president, he must govern in an atmosphere where he gets blamed for everything - the economy, interest rates, inflation, lower surpluses, gridlock etc. Meanwhile, Al Gore just sits back and waits while everybody compares the successes of the Clinton administration to the Bush administration.
