Gore "lost" partly because he wasn't liberal enough and caused many liberals to support Nader. (Gore really didn't lose, since we all know the election was stolen, but that's beside the point right now.) Another factor was the media's clear support of Bush.
Yeah..LOL...you guys keep telling yourself that. When was the last "true liberal" elected President of the United States?
The real nasty wake-up call is going to come when the Left finds out that about half the of ABBers aren't liberal at all 
.
Beef,
There's truth in what you say. But I do think that the loudest, and most sinister, ABB voices come from the hard left wing.
I strongly oppose Bush and I'm a very partisan Dem at times... but my record of posts show I not really a liberal either economically or socially... Gore ran as a populist in 2000 IMHO and lost... its a shame... then again Bush ran as a moderate centrist, and look how that turned out... but a more liberal candidate wouldn’t win... Kerry is about as liberal as you can get and still have a shot at the white house...
If all these voters where poised to get back into the process if they saw a "true liberal" why did Dean and Kucinich do so poorly in all those "open primaries"? Surely legions of this "liberal majority would have gone out and voted for them?... they must have forgot... yeah that’s it...
