Reply #5: The one thing I want to know is WHY Gore could Stomach Lieberman! [View All]

[KoKo]

It's been written that because Lieberman went all teary carrying on about Clinton's Penis Problem that Gore's advisors thought he'd be the best choice to distance himself from Clinton. What this article seems to point out is that Gore was under tremendous "political pressure" to distance himself more and more from Clinton ...since Clinton was distracted away from supporting Gore to support his wife.

There is strong evidence that Gore preferred John Edwards as running mate and that he and Tipper invited the Gores to Edwards Beach House on the NC Coast. But...that the Campaign Ops decided against that.

What would give credence to this is that Liberman could have brought in the Florida vote....but in the end...Florida was corrupted.

I guess I'd like to know WHY THE HELL GORE EVER ACCEPTED LIEBERMAN ON THAT TICKET!!!! He TURNED ON GORE...during the Recount....and I've NEVER GOTTEN OVER IT...that's why I'm shouting in FULL CAPS!

When we see how Liberman has turned out...surviving even after he left the Dem Party to run on his own but still retains his Committee Assignments as if he never left the party and ran as an "Indie" the whole thing becomes even MORE PERPLEXING!!!!
