Gore replaced into considered one of purely 4 substantial occasion applicants that did not win their living house state in a presidential election. Polk(1844) lost Tennessee, yet gained the election Douglas(1860) lost Illinois to Lincoln, who replaced into additionally from there McGovern(1972) lost South Dakota and the election in a landslide Gore(2000) lost Tennessee BTW. Gore is likewise not the 1st guy or woman to win the favored vote and lose the election. Jackson (1824) and Tilden (1876) additionally did. those that have a project with that should study the form.

Possibly, in 04 John Kerry almost took North Carolina, I should know, live in NC. Only because that I live in the largest, but still the only strong Democratic area in the state is why Kerry lost the state. The state is becoming more of blue state every year especially given the general weakness of the republican party here on the state level. Next year, Sen. Dole will be kicked out of Washington and after that the original king of corruption our other senator who before he entered the senate was reported as being the most corrupt member of the house. He took more bribes and lobbyist money than any other member from either party. In a few years the GOP will have almost no influence in NC.

It tells me the average voter in Tennessee knows something the average liberal doesn't. Gore and his ideas are out to lunch. There has never been a President elected who failed to win his home state.
IF Gore had won in Arkansas, home state of the great Democrat messiah Bill Clinton, he would have won in 2000. IF Gore had asked for a complete recount in Florida instead of cherry picking where to recount. Who knows he might have won. But then he might not have won.
Either way I'm glad he wasn't in the White House on 911. He'd have been more worried about climate change then where Al Qaeda was operating.

This tells us nothing.
I am a conservative but I have to tell you, Romney would not win MA, Giuliani would not win NY
I don't see anything worth exploring here. I guess it could be that states don't want 4 or 8 more years of what they have already experienced. People as a whole Dem. or Rep. like change

Re Gore it tells me either one of two things:
1. That Gore did not shore up home well enough in 2000 and cost himself the election
or
2. The people of Tenn were so limited in their minds and in their vision that they were pivitol in delivering us unto this ineptitude named Bush.
I think it is the latter.

that people they represented know first handed what they can and cannot do
actually Edwards/ NC gets a pass because they were stuck with a decision on Kerry..if he was the fav son..on the top..he
would have been more likely to have carried them

George W. Bush was born in Connecticut, and didn't win that state in either 2000 or 2004.

If they can't even fix the problems in their own state, what makes them think they can fix problems in our nation?
