2004 was a tough one to win, and all told Kerry did better than expected in a jingoistic environment. 2000, however, Gore should have won.revbob wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 3:40pmIn recent memory 2004 and 2016.

Yeah true enough that should have been an easy win but fucking Gore didn't even try to fight for it he conceded it wasnt even done.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 3:53pm2004 was a tough one to win, and all told Kerry did better than expected in a jingoistic environment. 2000, however, Gore should have won.revbob wrote: ↑11 Mar 2019, 3:40pmIn recent memory 2004 and 2016.

Re: The Trump observations thread
My recollection is that it's been discovered that if the ballots were counted as prescribed until the Supreme Court ordered the recount stopped, Gore would have won Florida. So that's cool.

Re: The Trump observations thread
A newspaper did a recount afterwards (NYT?) and found Bush still would have won, tho it does depend on what standard one employs regarding the hole punch. Plus there was the whole butterfly ballot that made it easier for elderly Jews to vote for Heinrich von Buchanan. Based on voter intention walking into the booth, yeah, Gore won. But he ran a crappy campaign, avoiding his strengths and refusing to enlist a still-popular president who, um, might have helped him carry Arkansas.

Can't I just be a bigot in public without being made to feel bad about it?

Is anyone afraid of bikers anymore? They are basically a cosplay crowd at this point, right?
