(50,414 posts)He could have just sat at home and let the voters decide. I guess the same goes for the candidates in all elections.
If it's merely up to the voters (what about the Democrats in Florida who voted for Bush?) then why bother with campaigns, or parties, or conventions. Hell, why bother with candidates?
It isn't that Gore failed to attract the Left wing, he didn't even try, he failed to attract the "moderates" that he tried to attract.
Get back to me about the "What would I do if my one vote will decide an election..." when it will and I'll inform you of decision.
If someone wants to take an action that will help Bush get elected, that is their legal right. But they do not have the right to make a false statement, and claim that helping Bush is not what they are doing, without someone pointing out the falsity of the statement.
Right. And, Gore, by failing to get enough votes helped Bush to get elected. Blaming his failure on the left instead of Gore. and the Democrats and Independents that voted for Bush, is disingenuous at best.
BTW, I held my nose and voted for Gore.
