Reply #62: Gore did not want to re-run the 2000 campaign

[Apollo11]

Gore has said many times that Presidential campaigns should always be about the future.

That's why in 2000 he did not only talk about the achievements of the Clinton-Gore years (and was criticized for this by Carville and others).

That's why in 2002 he promised not to seek the nomination for 2004. Because he knew that the party, and more importantly the country did not have the need or appetite for a re-run of Bu$h v Gore.

If Gore had run again in 2004, the question of "who really won in 2000" would keep coming back and that would prevent a serious discussion about the future direction of the country (and the world).

Let's all find ways to show our support for Al Gore! :patriot:
