Yep, you are probably defeated forever. Republicans and solid citizens are now rising up and you are hearing their voices. Get used to losing.

I think we will never know the answer. But one thing is for sure, the Democrats shot themselves in the foot, and it is going to turn into gane green. Here is a biased report: Leaving aside his somewhat imperious persona, and the candidacy of Ralph Nader, what follows are a few conclusions after conversations with people relatively high up in the Gore campaign. He did not do as well as he should have in the election because: He came out of the primaries -- and the challenge by Bill Bradley -- looking not only arrogant, but mean, unnecessarily mean. Sen. Joe Lieberman turned out not to be such a good vice presidential choice because the God stuff turned off some voters and took attention away from traditional Democratic issues of economics and fairness. False pride prevented him from figuring out some way to use President Clinton. That said and done, if Gore does not prevail after all the recounts and legal maneuvering, it is because: He conceded too soon because he did not have people on the ground in Florida and other places who could tell him to be wary of television's sloppy vote-counting and guesses. He did not simply call for a full recount in Florida, playing it too cute by half. He sent the wrong people to Florida to represent him. William Daley, totally unfairly, was vulnerable because his father, Mayor Richard J. Daley, was a euphemism for stolen votes; Warren Christopher doesn't work on television; Jesse Jackson came on like rent-a-riot, so the Republicans had cover to start one. Life is unfair. Lose or win, Al Gore was a victim and played the victim, not a role for men who would be president. He looked for sympathy before opportunity and could not react quickly enough to unforeseen circumstances and events. If he loses, he deserved to. In an always unpredictable world, reaction time and tone are two of the most important qualifications and duties of a president. dailynews.yahoo.com Can you say Corporate Reorganization? edit: I say biased because of the rent-a-riot term.
