Reply #118: That was an excellent article - this Country has paid HEAVILY

[Samantha]

for the theft of the 2000 election. The question two Presidential elections (eight years) later is can we as American citizens make a comeback? It will not be an easy process. Perhaps it will start with Barack Obama.

There was another excellent Gore article published in The Washington Post Magazine November 17, 2002. It's a little known article but very poignant. I kept the entire magazine.

It shows a picture of Al Gore on the cover sitting on his sofa in his new Tennessee home, and it's simply entitled: "The One That Got Away." The pain in his face is visible. I think of the stolen election of Al Gore (and Kerry, as well, in 2004) as a historical election catastrophe, the consequences of which will stay with this Country for the balance of its existence.

It has not been easy to persevere as a Democrat these last eight years, but we do what we can. In that regard, I am glad that you are still here, I am still here, and unlike many others who came in 2001 who seem to be too tired to talk much, WE ARE BOTH STILL VERY VOCAL.
