Then, he was just a debate loser who's favorite "philosopher" was Jesus. Also, the (R)'s did a great job hiding his true idiocy. Add to that Gore thinking he had it in the bag while boring us to tears, as well as a national situation so good that America thought it could take a chance on this faux cowboy..
