86. President Gore
You're right, Al Gore has been very vocal in his criticisms of the Bushie's failed policies, and I have really enjoyed the speeches he's given over these past four years against Bush.

But that is not the point at all. The point is that many people who went to the polls with the intention of casting their ballot for Al Gore in 2000, were disenfranchised. HIS VOTERS!

And I don't think it was appropriate of him to try to tell a United States Senator to please not sign on to the objection of the Florida electors, that they knew the CBC would raise.

Barbara Boxer was absolutely correct when she said she SHOULD have realized then that it was not about what Al Gore wanted; it was about standing up for the rights of voters.
