I agree the election was "stolen."

I know that Gore received more popular votes overall and in fairness in Florida.

But that's not enough! I say this as a Gore supporter from the time he ran in his very first primary: saying that "Gore won in 2000" in order to promote Gore in 2008 is politically pathetic.

He didn't win by enough! I am sick of marginal victories! We need a candidate and a strategy to win in a Democratic landslide!

Gore is too divisive for that.
Hillary is too divisive for that.

We need to start thinking STRATEGICALLY and not SENTIMENTALLY or making decisions based on who our favorite Democrat is. Your favorite Democrat may not be the best choice from a long-term, strategic point of view.

You may not agree with me, but all I'm asking you to do is think strategically, not emotionally.

Now I'll get off my rant until after the 06' elections are over...
