90. Gore didn't win the election.

Gore couldn't win the election. Period. Nothing else you said is even possible because of that. The fact that the election was rigged meant Gore would never be President. Ever. No amount of wishing and hoping or italics will ever change that. Just like 2004 was rigged in Ohio, 2000 was rigged in Florida. Unless your name was George W Bush you would never be President those 2 elections. So asking if Gore had won is pointless because he didn't win. And he never could.


edit: BlueCaliDem, I should have told you I live in Florida and voted for Gore in 2000. I followed that election pretty closely, including the recounts and the "hanging chads" fiasco. It was clearly stolen in 2000. It's now looking like what we suspected in Ohio 2004 also occurred (saw an article a few days ago somewhere detailing what was found). Anyway, Happy Holidays.
