Supreme Court Appoints Bush for Second Term

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

people thought it would be 4 more years of the same group running the White House.

Yet many "pundits" insisted that were Clinton able to run in '00, he would have won.

I actually think they're probably right. For all of the bad things about Clinton, he had a charm/personality that I think would have carried the election. I think many viewed Gore as Clinton without the charm.

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

Gore made Clinton look honest. (not that I'm real familiar with *many* honest pols)

"I have ALWAYS supported a woman's right to choose."

This from a man who as a Senator had a 96% approval rating from the National Right to Life Coalition.

Gore himself apparently thinks so, and blamed Clinton, in a heated argument, for Lewinskying him (Gore) out of an election victory.

I'm the last guy to defend Clinton, but hopefully Bill pointed out, at some point during the argument, that had Gore been able to carry his home state, he would have been President, no matter how many handing chads there were in Florida.

IIRC of the reports at the time, Bill said just that in the argument. Clinton is total scum and was a lousy President, but he is waaaaay smarter than Gore. So I expect he insulted Al reasonably well when Al went spastic.
