3. All of the above.
But since that wasn't a choice on the poll, I voted the Kerry botched joke.

The Obama smear is quite laughable as well. Oh, and Edwards house. Sheesh :banghead:

5. True.

6. How about all of them?
They are all pretty irrelevant to me.

I do appreciate the significance of the eco foot print that the very affluent leave (which includes ALMOST all of the politicians that are truly in the race) ... but in the case of Edwards I think his populist agenda has potential of having a greater positive impact than if he donated all of his money to charity and lived in a card board box.

Obama's middle name ... the mere thought of it being an issue is disgustingly ridiculous.

Al Gore was "there" ... heck, I was there and couldn't control my ex-husbands philandering (so was Christie Brinkley ...).

These aren't issues they are idiocy.

8. The text in a book that Senator Webb wrote.
And the pure delight with which Imus, side kick Chuck, and MSM tried to shove it down our gullets.

9. All the smears used against Gore in 2000....
including the "sigh", his make-up during the debates, the "kiss", whether or not he invented the internet, that he lived in a hotel in DC when his dad was a Senator.... etc., etc., etc.

Oh... and whether or not Kerry looked "French".

All totally ridiculous!

11. I gotta go with the scream .......
It was not all what it was made out to be. It was shown endlessly on the M$M (still is, actually), the talking heads made Dean out to be crazy person.

Not to say the others in your poll are any better, but this one was the absolute worst in my opinion.

12. I would have used "Al Gore's wardrobe" instead of "Al Gore was there!"
The press went apesh*t in 2000 because Gore wore suits sometimes and - - gasp! - - casual clothes sometimes.

13. I wanted to go with Edwards' house, but I had to pick "Al Gore Was There."
Because...what? I've never heard that one before. That is insane.
