Have any of y'all even heard of anyone that voted for Gore in 2000

[Burma Jones]

....changing their mind and voting for Chimpy in 2004.

I know five people personally that are changing from Chimpy in 2000 to Kerry in 2004. I can only imagine how many Naderites are going to vote for Kerry this time around. But I cannot think of anyone that is switching from Gore to Chimpy.

My Father In Law mentioned this situation when he said that he felt there was no way Chimpy was going to win in a fair election, and he's usually right about, well, just about everything political and economic.

We REALLY have to monitor the Republicans because they know this and know they can't win a fair fight.

1. Not a soul

[GumboYaYa]

2. Ed Koch

[TransitJohn]

3. Naderite here.

Voted for him the last 2 times around. And before everyone bashes me, I live in Wyoming and I KNOW where my 3 electoral votes are going. This time around I'm going John Kerry all the way, because I want to see the Dems slim the margin in Wyoming voting.

Flame away.

[Lavender Brown]

4. I do, but I think they're lying.

The old "I used to be a Democrat until..." line some repukes use. :eyes:

[wicket]

5. NO!

Not one. OMG, not at all.

[Old and In the Way]

6. Not a one.

Except, of course, Bush supporters posting anonymously, who have to start with the mandatory "As a lifelong Democrat,......" before praising Dimson or smearing Kerry.

[Killarney]

7. Not in real life, but met a few online

that voted for Gore but "9/11 changed them" :eyes: and they're voting for Bunnypants this time.

[ieoeja]

8. I know one.

I know several 2000 Bush voters who will either not vote or will vote Kerry. But I do know one voter who is going the other way around.

He is possibly the single biggest coward I have ever personally met. He believes we should essentially kill everyone outside the United States. He admits that would be evil, but he has been wetting his pants every day since 9-11 and this fear has taken complete control.

[barbaraann]

9. My Jewish neighbors (one family).

However, I have met or know at least a dozen Bush voters who are voting for someone else this time.

[Davis_X_Machina]

10. Yes.

One.

A panic-stricken woman who believes that if Gore had been president on 9/11, he would have 'surrendered to the terrorists', the terrorists 'would have taken over', and 'all women would now have to wear burkas', and it would 'be illegal to be a Christian'.

She is convinced that Muslim terrorists are going to truck-bomb the Maine Mall and/or release poison gas at Bath Iron Works, and kill her babies.

12. This person has a many more problems than a national election,

and the fear she is spreading in her family life will haunt those children always. Now that is a scary person.

[daisygirl]

15. Wow. That's a bit extreme.

I have to say that in the first few days just after 9/11, even though I had voted for him I had my doubts about how Gore would have coped/handled things, but that was primarily because of the whole automaton act he had going on during the campaign. My opinion of him increased a thousandfold when I heard that impassioned MoveOn speech he gave last summer - I can't help but think if he'd been like that during his presidential campaign he would have won...

[Langis]

11. I didn't vote last election

This time it's a bit different, and I'll be voting for Kerry all the way. The same with my Girlfriend and about 10-15 people we know.

[BayouBengal07]

13. I can't think of any (Dennis Miller?)

All those poeple who say they're Democrats but "9/11 changed them" because they saw the light that they need a strong leader in Bush that the Democrats lack puzzles me.

If they think Democrats are THAT weak on defense (i.e. "Gore would have asked the terrorists to stop and would not have fought back"), why are they Democrats? What about this particular event makes us "too weak" all of a sudden (also, what have we done to prove ourselves too weak? These charges came out fairly soon after 9/11, what did we do to make people lose faith?)? If this is the way they've always felt, then they should have been Republicans. But its always a sudden change thing, which makes me suspect of their party affiliation claims.

[Davis_X_Machina]

16. 'Strong leader' is an acceptable way of saying...

'Will kill swarthies without number, and without remorse, until I feel better'.

[veteran_for_peace]

14. I know of one

He got into a Southern Baptist church and is "turning" his life around.
