Jim, The Republicans did a very good job of isolating several Gore remarks over the last few years, and building a case that he was untrustworthy. "I didn't know it was a fundraiser" "I was on that plane" Character assasination has been honed to a fine art by the RNC, and they had several years headstart assasinating Gore. Bush's own ethics problems never even were discussed by the press, until the last three days of the election. Scumbria

Bush Takes 17-Vote N.M. Lead By Loie Fecteau Journal Politics Writer New Mexico changed colors on the national electoral college map late Friday, shifting from an Al Gore lead to a razor-thin, 17-vote edge for George W. Bush. It was a stunning presidential vote reversal played out on national news networks and fueled by excruciatingly slow progress in a four-day struggle to count early and absentee votes cast in Bernalillo County before Tuesday's election. abqjournal.com Scumbria

On the other hand, it was Gores election to lose. He should have won easily. The fact he hasn't says volumes about him scaring a lot of electorate. Jim, You tell Scumbria to stop with the opinions but certainly saying that the election was Gore's to lose is most likely your opinion; as evidence, the polls favored Bush from the get go. What really bothers me is certain groups of people voting heavily for one candidate. Like 90-10 or 75-25. Something is wrong there...either some groups are getting excessive considerations over others and want to perpetuate it or the other parties need to speak more to those groups... I agree.....that's why I said to Scumbria its two countries. There are members of my family...they live in FL now....that I am very uncomfortable talking to....in the past ten years, our respective politics have changed dramatically. ted
