(11,464 posts)If you are a Gore fan, you know he won NH without Nader.
What part of 270 don't you get?
and the rules in DU say it is for people who vote for democrats and only vote 3rd party in the rare instances where there is either no democrat running, or the 3rd party can win while a fringe dem on the ticket can't (like supporting Angus King or Charlie Crist as examples).
this is not a site for Ralph Nader or Ross Perot or Ron Paul or John Anderson(who if you give Jimmy Carter those 7%, would have beaten Reagan in 1980).
the shuffling of votes into the belly of Shamu in Florida would not have mattered if NH had been called for Gore. There was no theft in Florida, had NH been Gore's.
Which happened PRIOR election night to Florida being decided.
NH gave gore 270 and victory. Nader stole it away.
You Nader groupies seem to forget the timeline.
SCOTUS only ruled 12/12/2000 and the first ruling anyhow said Florida, it was the controversial second ruling buried within that said time ran out.
If not mistaken David Souter quit the court first chance he got when Obama took office, because he could not take that decision.
