I do forgive Al Gore in a way because in his own way he has illustrated to the world how bad the Republic alternative was to the Clinton administration.
I also feel that he has used his 'off-time' to do good deeds for the community especially with his raising awareness of climate change/global warming, particularly in the US- the nation which singularly most contributes to global warming. Remember- this issue is of such magnitude that it means America may loose some of its favourite territory to rising sea water and in addition to adversely effecting the economy.
I feel that he was pressured somewhat, perhaps by his own rather gutless party into admitting defeat (despite actually winning the popular vote) so that the legal process would not be dragged out indefinitely and for indefinite expense.
So I guess I have mixed feelings about Al Gore- but I see him as a reasonably honest, modest, sensible, intelligent man fit and able to run a difficult county like the US and effect some beneficial changes and indeed reversals to America's recent disastrous domestic and foreign policies. I honestly believe that he is the best Dem candidate for election as he not only has the experience but the ability- who cares about personality, photogenics and charisma? Lieberman, Ruddock-Clinton and Kerby have nothing on the Gore-ster. Who wants an feeble-minded elderly man, a militant hypocritical feminist or a flip-flopper as a serious viable, vote-worthy candidate?
Bush has plenty of personality and look what good it has done the world?

Ummm if you look, Bush won every recount in Florida. I don't get how the myth of a stolen election continues to flourish. Al Gore was asked before the election if he supported the electoral college and its possible problems and he said he supported the Constitution. I don't think that its a perfect method and it should be changed but I think you need to move on and look to '08 you Dem's have a good chance of running things again.

Al Gore is a disaster waiting to happen. recently his rants of Global warming have been put down by the majority of the scientific community. If it is so important to him, why did he not even attempt any change in the 8 years he was in the VP spotlight ? Or for that period of time that he was a senator ? As far as 2000 election, maybe he got over the fact that he lost.

~He did win the popular vote, even conservatives know that! I forgave him because he did what he thought was best for the country by not being bitter and not causing a Civil War like Bush.
2008 does look good for us and they can't stand it.. lol I look forward to losing the Bush.
Merry Christmas~

Your psychiatrist should apologize to you for not curing you of your delusions. The 2000 election was not stolen. More people voted for the President that voted for Fat Albert.

He actually fought it, but when the Supreme Court ruled against him he had no more options and no choice. He tried and the Coup was a success.
