Reply #13: OF COURSE GORE DIDN'T LOSE, I'M QUOTING THE DLC who wanted to push politicians

[mod mom]

back to the right and their corporate/powerful alliances.

Gore won!

Kerry Won! Believe me as an election integrity activist who heped investigate Ohio in 2004 I am fully aware of this. I'm trying to make the point the Hillary is AGAIN attempting to play both sides-Gore is an elitist while being head of the organization that suggested Gore "lost" because of his populist message of fighting for the people INSTEAD of the powerful"

but, if either Gore or Kerry would have taken office, then the DLC's champion (of the rich and powerful) Hillary Clinton would not have had the opportunity to run this year. In fact, it was Clinton ally James Carville who assisted Bush in 2004:

Did Carville Tip Bush Off to Kerry Strategy (Woodward)


By M.J. Rosenberg | bio




On page 344, Woodward describes the doings at the White House in the early morning hours of Wednesday, the day after the '04 election.

Apparently, Kerry had decided not to concede. There were 250,000 outstanding ballots in Ohio.

So Kerry decides to fight. In fact, he considers going to Ohio to camp out with his voters until there is a recount. This is the last thing the White House needs, especially after Florida 2000.

"Carville told her he had some inside news. The Kerry campaign was going to challenge the provisional ballots in Ohio -- perhaps up to 250,000 of them. 'I don't agree with it, Carville said. I'm just telling you that's what they're talking about.'
