That's where your observations and "analysis," if you can call it that, fall short. Clinton didn't give a rat's ass about Gore; only about himself and his legacy. Clinton wanted his presidency to be the high water mark. Btw, if more than half the country is so in love with Gore, why isn't he the democrat nominee this time? And if Gore thought Lieberman would be his best VP in 2000, why did Gore endorse Dean, not even bothering to give Lieberman a heads-up? Re: Your post proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are incapable of rational and critical thinking. LOL. Is this your version of liberal eloquence and politeness? I'm much more inclined to cut to the chase and call you a moron, Orky.

More than half of the country thought Gore should be president. Is that meant to imply that you believe that over half of the country voted for Gore? Or was that a weasel statement leaving you room to back out when challenged? Do you lie with conscious intent like Chinu or through vacuous stupidity as demonstrated by AS?? The population of the US as of April 1, 2000 was 281,421,906. ask.census.gov Al Gore received 50,999,897 votes in the last election, or 48.38% of the total votes cast. en.wikipedia.org So, contrary to your erroneous implication (ie: lie), not only did Gore not receive over half the country's endorsement, less than 20% in fact, he received less than half of the votes that were actually cast.

No, but Gore had a view of the future. That's why Gore didn't make the "great economy" part of his campaign. He knew that the economy was beginning to tank. This was apparently a source of considerable tension between President Clinton and Vice President Gore - as apparently the President thought the Vice President should have campaigned on how great the economy was. re: "What if the "ticking time bombs" were left for Gore to deal with? Do you think that Clinton has a crystal ball and could see into the future?"
