What cost Gore the election was his failure to run on the Clinton record, the Clinton economy. You may disagree that Clinton could fairly take credit for the economy, but the American people would have gladly given Gore the credit if he had been willing to take it. Instead of keeping Clinton locked in the WH, Gore should have had Clinton on the campaign trail. But Gore really dispises Clinton and felt all along that Clinton would cost him the WH, so he didn't want him campaigning for him. The irony, of course, is that by not embracing Clinton and the possible positive sides of his legacy, Gore cost himself the WH.

I do think it was amazing that Bush won. After two terms, both having booming economic times....Gore should have breezed through and won in a landslide. Unfortunately his boss ultimately caused him the election. -----Original Message----- From: Maureen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 4:36 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Bush's Mid East Policy At 11:40 AM 4/8/02, Kevin wrote: >So I suppose when Al Gore walked into Monticello and was surrounded by >the busts of the founding fathers and said "Who are these people?" that >was ok because it's not really relevant because they aren't are largest >trading partner.

The re are numerous busts of philosophers, authors and other people Jefferson admired. Some of them look nothing like the person they represent, and almost anyone would have to ask who they are. I would think that a candidate running for president should at least know the names of the leaders of nations he will be dealing with on a daily basis if he takes office. I bet he knows the name of the Pakistani president now. "It's amazing I won. I was running against peace, prosperity and incumbency" --George W. Bush, June 14, 2001 (speaking to Swedish Prime Minister Goran Perrson unaware that a live television camera was still rolling) ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
