Reply #54: So Awful a Campaigner

[divineorder]

That he won three Congressional races, 2 Senatorial races, and certainly didn't hurt Bill Clinton as his running mate. One thing a lot of people don't remember was his website in 2000 when he gave riveting speeches and tried to get people to actually participate in his election. He was so poor a candidate that he made up an 18 point deficit to tie and win the popular vote. Indeed, if it weren't for Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris, Gore would have won Florida outright.

Gore is so poor a campaigner that he put the whole issue of Global Warming on the map in a way that nobody had before, and narrated his way to an Oscar. Poor campaigner? Hardly. What happened was that he was mugged by the MSM who was in the pocket of Daddy Bush and media Corporations who thought a Republican would give them consolidation. Thankfully, they paid no attention to the internet, except to mock it.

Gore's problems in 2000 were also due to the lack of a Democratic ground game. There was nobody already on the ground to make Katherine Harris be honest, either by running against her or legislation.
