Even to this day, no one knows. It has cost us dearly. Who knows, now that the Senate is up in arms and battling it out, a Senator may become President after all. Collegiality? Out the window!

Gore prematurely conceded the 2000 race to George W. Bush, then had to retract his concession after aides said Florida wasn't lost. He never declared victory, an omission Kerry's advisers, many of whom worked for Gore, now believe created a sense of inevitability in voters' minds about Bush's presidency.

Gore didn't plan for the legal showdown, though few could have predicted it before Election Day. And he watched as Bush seized political advantage during the 36-day recount by publicly discussing a transition to the White House.

Gore was entitled to and could have demanded a state-wide recount, which he would have won. What he did was demand a recount of one county he thought he had, which he got, but he lost. Kerry never really needed a recount, he just lost and he knew it.
