That would disenfranchise 25 million voters (none / 0) (#8)

other than that...

2 million, 25 million - who's counting? (none / 0) (#39)

Or not counting...

I'd vote for Gore without hesitation.

way more than 2 million have voted this primary (none / 0) (#45)

that's what I meant.  Al Gore has not received many votes in this primary.  He had his chance to run again.  The nomination was his for the taking, but he didn't seize the moment.

Looking at this race (none / 0) (#48)

I can see why he didn't.  Hillary is a formidable opponent and if Gore didn't get the nom, he'd never get that year of his life back.

I think Gore is a realist.  What people like to vote for are a pretty face, a safe, comfortable platform and lots of happy talk.  I don't think he wanted to play that game again.  Voters only pay attention when they are directly threatened, unfortunately.  Issue Number One is the Economy.  Why?  Because people are afraid.

I thought delegates were free (none / 0) (#72)

to vote for any candidate they chose. At least, that's what I've been hearing from one campaign.
