Reply #36: Yes it is petty to paint Kerry and Gore as "WEAK" because they conceded

[emulatorloo]

Conceding is what you do in elections if there aren't any realistic options.

Gore fought in the courts and got stomped on by the Supremes, then he disappeared from sight. They painted him as Sore Loserman. And then he came back strong as a wonderful voice for us. He has my respect and the respect of many dems.

Unlike Gore, it did not appear that Kerry won the popular vote. Margins as reported in Ohio were too wide to contest. However he did do some investigating, and did lend his support to recount efforts, They didn't prove fraud. and then he went right back to fighting Bush in the senate. He has my respect and the respect of many dems.

There were questions about Kennedy v Nixon, and I seriously doubt repugs were out there pushing that Nixon was weak. . .

And Nixon won when he ran again.
