I don't doubt a number of those ballots, of those votes that were cast for me, probably were intended for Vice President Gore.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even if you only counted the votes that actually made it through the hoops in order to be cast, the president was really Al Gore.
I look at the Senior Al Gore that I had the chance to serve in the Senate with. A great human being. He went down to defeat to this right wing bunch back at the time.
I think everybody knows that on November 7th more people voted for Al Gore than George Bush, a fact that has been documented time and time again.
I rallied against Clinton when he was in office. I didn't vote for him in '96. I didn't vote for Gore in 2000.
I don't know how many people run for vice president and president and lose both.
Some of George W. Bush's friends say that Bush believes God called him to be president during these times of trial. But God told me that He/She/It had actually chosen Al Gore by making sure that Gore won the popular vote and, God thought, the Electoral College. 'That worked for everyone else,' God said.
I am Al Gore, and I used to be the next president of the United States of America.
In the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore got more votes than George W. Bush, but still lost the election. The Supreme Court's ruling in Florida gave Bush that pivotal state, and doomed Gore to lose the Electoral College. That odd scenario - where the candidate with the most votes loses - has happened three times in U.S. history.
I voted for Barack Obama.
Remember, no one decides who they're going to vote for based on the vice president. I mean that literally.
