192. Are you sure the Clinton scandals did not hurt Gore? Bubba was teflon,
but plenty of people were pissed about the prospect of blow jobs being in American history books for the next century. Not to mention having a President distracted by impeachment. Yes, Bill had a high popularity rating, but, as I said, he seemed to be Teflon. Still is. Those around him, however, like Gore and Hillary, not so much.

I agree that Gore did not make a great candidate, though. However, you can hardly blame anyone for condescending to Incurious George.

Funny you mention Dole. After Dole lost, I thought his appearances on talk shows showed his wit and personality to much better advantage than ever before his loss. I found him very likeable, at least until that sick Viagra commercial with Brittany Spears. Still would not have voted for him because I am a yellow dog voter, to the nth degree.

I also found Gore funnier, wittier and much more likeable after he lost. So, that is the connection I make between Dole and Gore. But, I voted for Gore, even when I could not relate to him personally. Not only am I a yellow dog voter, I am not a voter who would ever have voted for Dummya.
