Election 2000: Terrorist Attack on September 11, 2000

It would also be a flip flop for Gore. At one time Gore said that he wanted to distance himself from Clinton, and then suddenly he wanted to be with Clinton basically all the time.

It's the aftermath of a terrorist attack. I doubt anyone, would in this scenario think to themselves, when consealed in the polling booth: 'What a travesty! Gore didn't campaign with the President, and now he does. Who does he think he is? Warren Beatty? Let's vote for the other guy'. People's anxieties were heightened after 9/11 and remained very much so till Election Day 2004.

In my opinion, Bush still wins.

If Bush's popularity can increase to something ridiculous, in height of a national disaster such as 9/11 - then Clinton's would too. And Gore, as a result would ride his coattails.

I don't mean to be rude or anything. But, it seems that you never have anything positive to say about any of my threads or single posts.

I was merely questioning your logic...again. Yes, Gore did want to distance himself from Clinton but in height of a 9/11esque terrorist attack, during the middle of the campaign Gore, as Vice President would emphasize national unity by campaigning with the President; but also his strengthen his foreign policy credentials. It's my belief that people would not think of campaign trivialities, but rather national security when confined in the voting booth - manifesting a Gore victory.

It is always a critique that I get from u.

Actually, it's not

Again, I can take criticism...lets just get that straight before u play that card. But, I just noticing a very consistent trend.

Cards? We all know I'm shithouse at cards. I've never been able to play well, and I doubt I ever will.
