59. I thought I indicated that Nader's campaign was not in complete congruence with objective reality ?

None of the campaigns were in complete congruence with reality, to blame the entire election loss on Nader is as you say a mistake.

And let's not forget Gore's choice of the despicable Joseph Lieberman. Here we are talking about Nader's fault in the election and yet Gore's hand picked VP running mate campaigned at the 2008 RNC for Weathervane McCain and the Thrilla from Wasilla.

What, you think Joementum wasn't as transparent as intergalactic vacuum in 2000? Voters ran from Holy Joe, a political black hole from whom not a scintilla of charisma, empathy or honesty can escape because it was obvious to anyone who paid the slightest attention that he is a loathsome waste of maggot droppings.

The election was Gore's to lose, the campaign he headed for the Democratic party in 2000 with Holy Joe at his back ready to slide in the shiv and snivel the Joebituary in the end just didn't cut the Grey Poupon when it came up against a stacked deck.

According to the Christian faith there once was a perfect person who never made a mistake.
