He had an attitude, and that certainly was showwn at the debates...but that attitude was about all he had that was consistant, and he lost because of both the attitude and his lack of anything else. He got serious negatives after that debate because of his tactics there. Still, he might have even gotten by with those tactics, had the Florida voters actually been able to manipulate a ballot. But several things have changed the voter's perception on what such people can get by with.... The numoerous reports of voter fraud on the part of the Democrats.... and 9/11. Which to turn to current events is exactly why Kerry's not doing so well right now... particularly 9/11. Try it this way...Does anyone see a whole bunch of difference between Gore then, and Kerry now? I certainly don't. And there, then is the key... 9/11 has changed the perception of each political argument among the voters. Sins that could be forgiven more easily in gentler times, can no longer be overlooked.
