Re:FernC
You are so typical of the usual Salon reader that says Bush is the worst president ever and that Al Gore is now the second coming. If Al Gore is so freakin great, how in the world did the 2000 election even get to be so close such that there was a claim that Bush stole it. Your analysis is at best lame. The real reason why Al Gore is not Pres Al Gore today is primarily the Bill Clinton indiscretions that caused just enough people to reconsider the merits of a Bush presidency versus a continuation of the Clinton years. That, plus a poorly run campaign by Al Gore caused the race to actually be close. By all measures, that race should have been a 10 point advantage for Gore, all things considered, but Al Gore couldn't even carry his home state. George W. Bush was elected on the coattails of his father just like HRC is trying to do the same thing in 2008
