Reply #78: Kerry did a good job. [View All]

[second edition]

He was up against a lot more than Gore ever was. And, actually, Kerry received more votes than Gore did. Gore didn't even capture his own state. I don't mean to bash, but it is hard to fathom just why Gore was not way out in front. He had a lot of positives to run on. The only thing I can think of is that people were tired of eight years of Clinton and liked Bush's personality more than Gore's.
As far as Edwards, nice guy, but he just doesn't have the credentials to to run. he isn't even directly involved in politics anymore and he didn't help win his home state for Kerry either. Kerry isn't perfect, but I'd be willing to give him another go at it before I would consider Gore or Edwards.
