I can now relate with those who were so heavily invested in Al Gore.

[monmouth]

My heart is broken while being somewhat outraged, that the only man amongst these candidates, who should rightfully have been acknowledged by the media, can no longer continue to run for the office of President of the United States. The bottom line??? Money. How very sad. I have completely lost interest, at least for now, in the process. This man has spent over thirty years in legislation, is known and repected by the leaders of the world, yet can't get over 1% in a podunk state because he didn't have the money for ads.

He didn't take from the corporations, he didn't have celebrities endorse him. He just ran a grassroots campaign, and relied on us, his citizenry, for support. How very sad and disgusting at the same time. I'm not a sore loser, trust me. But for what it's worth, there is no other candidate, Republican or Democrat, up to the task of serving as POTUS, at least not to the extent that Joe was. None of them can remotely begin to compare to his knowledge and experience.

My disappointment will ebb in time, I'm sure. But I certainly am not going to congratulate any of the top tier. They are bought and paid for. Good night and lotsa luck...
