Come on Laz, be honest for a change. Currently the country is more evenly divided politically than it has been for years. You know this. Remember the pendulum? We're swinging from the left to the right currently as well. Gore had plenty of advantages. But Gore did not inspire. He did not take the bull by the horns and try to win the election. It was like he was asleep in the debates with Bush. That long monotone voice of his had people switching the dial across the country. It was Gore's election to lose, and he did. Imagine the best that the republicans could put up against him was Bush, and they lost! No wonder Gore slipped off the stage for a few months. He knew he did not do his best. Why? Who knows why? But even with his crappy campaigning and strategy he still would have beat Bush, had Nader not entered the race. As to the argument about it coming down to one state...well that's what elections do with the electoral college. They boil down to a handfull of states. Florida was a key state with 27 electoral votes, one of the biggies. Whoever can determine the key states, and then design their campaign strategy to win the key states, will win the election. It's not about people, it's about states. Orca
