I was one of those voters -- who would not have voted had I not been able 
to vote for Nader.

As for Gore. Not only did he not win in his home state BUT, most puzzling 
for the dems, this election went through uncontested at a time when 
Gore/Clinton not only had the media's attention but also while they had 
political power!!!!. I'm still scratching my head over that one. I mean if 
the dems didn't want to rock the boat, fuck them.
