One final question, did Gore know Bush's brother was govenor of Florida?

Speaking from experience, I know that it's not easy to be convinced of someone elses argument. I offer much praise and respect.
Did Gore know Bush's brother was governor of Florida? God, I hope so. The problem is that he kept the information in his lock box, and it probably got lost. /end Gore joke
I think that Gore underestimated how hungry Bush and his supporters were. Had Gore seen the reality of corruption, he could have taken adequate measures to concentrate on Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Missouri, Wisconsin, and Iowa instead of Florida. Had I been Kerry, I would have done a shit load more mud slinging. Bush = failed buisnessman, daddys boy, alcoholic, went to and failed at Harvard and Yale, ruined Texas' environment....etc. Kerry should have had the same fire he had when he was protesting the war. He also should have been more serious about the second gulf war. He was a big dissapointment, even though I didn't vote for him.
