"Cost Gore Florida an such gave us the BUSH Administration, Pathetic little SLUG!!!!!"
Oy vey. Not this again.
Celisafkabl, The Bush administration was given to us by the people who voted for Bush. Which, funnily enough, is how our elections work.
Had Gore won, would you still consider Nader a slug?
I don't think so.
So you don't like how the 2000 election turned out.
Fine, neither do I.
But I'm not going to blame Nader for Gore's loss, since Nader's votes were never Gore's to begin with.
Gore lost Florida, albeit narrowly, in part due to people voting for Nader, fine, fair enough. But he also lost in part due to the fact that a number of democratic voters, in a heavily Democratic district, accidentally voted for Buchanan, as the ballots were confusing.
Or at least that's what they say.
Having seen the ballots in question, however, I didn't find them confusing at all.
And let's face it, Gore's campaign didn't exactly light any fires, now, did it.
To blame Nader (or any candidate) for people voting for him is silly, plain and simple.
