(1,461 posts)28. Pro repug media plus Jeb/Harris cabal, along with Nader
The pro Bush media waged an all out war against Al Gore because they viewed the internet as a threat to their power base combined with Nader making it possible with his big no differences lie and repug financial help making it possible for Bush to get close enough in Florida. Then the Jeb/Harris cabal illegally removing more than 50,000 legally registered mostly African American democrats from Florida's voting rolls in 1999 and 2000 combined with refusing to follow Florida election law and count the uncounted votes as the law required in addition to numerous other violations of Florida election law is what really happened. 15 of my 24 years spent working on dem election campaigns were spent in Florida.

I voted for Kerry. I like the man. But, Edwards would have tanked that whole administration.
