Who is most responsible for Gore's loss in 2000?

It was so close that any reason anyone names can be argued to be the reason. He should have given more attention to Arkansas and West Virginia, he should have gone for Ohio rather than Florida, he should have carried his home state, he shouldn't have sighed... or its Nader's fault, it's the fault of minor Trot parties in Florida, its the fault of the ballot design in Florida, the fault of the blacklist in Florida, the fault of the Supreme Court, the fault the electoral system, fault of the fault of the fault of the fault...

But, basically, Guderian is right. Gore did very well - a few minor mistakes and various weird events (most of which no one could have ever predicted) where what cost him the election, not major errors. Most fightbacks don't quite make it at this level; as HHH and Ford could tell you as well.

If you're going to say Nader, then you might as well say it was Bush. 50,456,002 people voted for him. Only 2,882,955 voted for Nader.

Actually if you're going to say 'Nader' you might as well say 'Clinton'... there's a reason why nearly three million voted for a fringe candidate despite the election being close...
