(11,464 posts)Gore won New Hampshire if Nader did not run. Do you not understand that to get to 270 in 2000, all Gore needed was 4 more electoral votes, not all of Florida's. Just New Hampshire.
It is really quite mathematical.
And with Gore in the White House, he would have been reelected in 2008.
And who won in 1960?
If the Democrats didn't sell the legendary great President Johnson down the river, he would have creamed Nixon in 1968 and no Bush or Reagan or Nixon ever would have entered the White House and it would have been 40 years of Democrats.
And why wasn't Al Gore allowed a rematch in 2004?
and where were YOU during the recount of 2000? I myself was out on the streets in both Florida and DC at different times during that period.
The streets were paved with just about NO ONE caring.
Why?
Because Nader said it did not matter because Bush and Gore were one and the same.
but what is needed is to GO FORWARD and make sure there is no primary challenge that divides the party in 2016, and that Hillary has a clear run with the full 100% support of President Obama, so that 100% of HIS voters vote for her, the one and only thing she did nothave in 2008
that is the beauty of the phrase FORWARD. WE WON in 2012 by a landslide. That is what is important.
And let's hope Susan Rice is SOS in 2013. And that Hillary wins a Nobel Peace Price on her way to the Presidency for attaining some sort of peace in the Mid East.
And remember Mr. Damour who was crushed to death at Walmart on black friday a few years ago, working security when a stampede happened, because of greedy people wanting five bucks off their mega giant plasma tv's.
