Subject: RE: BS: Gore Bows Out With Class
I agree Ron, that Gore would get re-elected and still loose to Bush's Dream Legal Team. Bush was ready for Florida and knew what had to be done to steal the White House and he did it. Gore, I think, was not willing fight it out in the gutters of political reality.
Greg Palist advised Gore during the attempted recount that Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris has disfrancised black votors but Gore choose not to go public. It was Bush who had paid goon squads on airplanes to Florida tha morning after the election to harrass precinct workers and Gore supporters. It was Bush who outspent 5 to 1 Gore in lawyers. It was Bush who brought suit against Gore for Gore somehow "damaging" Bush. Looking back we now know who was "damaged".
Gore took the high road and I guess that speaks volumes about just how corrupt the American political system has become.
Good for Gore.
Maybe if he chooses to run in '08, he'll do so as the Green Party candidate. Sounds like he is ready to shead some of the repubocratic baggage...
