34. It didn't have to be "Florida, Florida, Florida."

Gore didn't even win his home state Tennessee. I remember "Clinton fatigue" back then.

It is a political tragedy that Bill Clinton brought so much baggage to the Gore election. I believe Al Gore was about the most prepared potential president, possibly in our history. It should have been a cake walk.

You want to see the "Butterfly Effect" in action? Imagine the Lewinsky affair never happened. What a different world we would be in.

Anyone like Nader who is a viable candidate for office should not be vilified for running. It shouldn't be about limiting our choices.
