16. Bush v. Gore--NO CONTEST
If anything ever proved who really deserved to be president among the candidates in the 2000 election, this incident completely sealed the deal.

While chimpy was eating cake, playing guitar, flying over the devastation, etc., Al Gore was doing something real to help real people who were in a terrible, terrible situation.

I was in New Orleans right before the 2000 election, and one night my wife and I walked out of Tujague's restaurant right into an Al Gore rally on the waterfront.

I remember being struck by the thought "this is not the "wooden" Al Gore that's been promoted by the media". He really connected with the people of New Orleans that night, and I was very happy to cast my vote for him a few days later.

We were ROBBED in 2000. We were CHEATED in 2004. We cannot let 2008 pass without a decisive victory. It would make a lot of karmic sense if we could all refer to Al Gore as "President Gore" starting in early 2009. He's more than earned it, and he's exceptionally well qualified.

And after all this BS, you better believe he more than deserves it.
