Al Gore's noble exit is serving the nation well today

[BeyondGeography]

Graham just invoked him (if Al Gore can accept 5-4 from the Suprme Court, I can accept 4-3 from the Pennsylvania 2nd Circuit). Numerous Democrats have cited his gracious concession speech. Not to mention numerous commentators from multiple perspectives.

It hurt like hell at the time (not least because he actually won), but Gore didn’t suffer for no good reason. He took one for the American team and walked away with his dignity intact.

1. It hurt deeply

I still am not over that loss.

2. It remains the worst political night of my life

It often feels like it was the beginning of the end. Until this saga I saw nothing good about it. He was majestic.

4. Me too

It was quite devastating and paved the way for lots of bad bad stuff.
