I completely agree with you. However, regarding Al Gore’s appeal to the left, he just didn’t get them inspired. That’s what I’m getting at here.
Back at college at SFSU, there were Gore supporters but most of the students who were fired up were because of Nader’s presidential campaign. It was hard to convince them to move in Gore’s direction. Gore simply did not fire up these voters that much. Might have made a difference for him in maximizing the votes but that’s all pure speculation.
Of course, Gore could have selected Bob Graham who unlike Lieberman was not a war monger.
Remember, I've been a socialist since 1979. No-one had any excuse for not voting for him because he he was "no different from Bush."

Yes, or Governor Jeanne Shaheen of NH. But the bottom line is that while Gore made strategic mistakes, voters were responsible for their actions.
Yes indeed!
It was obvious that Bush Jr was going to represent a complete reversal of progress that the Clinton era made.
