Wasn't Kerry Gore's #2 Choice In 2000?

[DrFunkenstein]

You know, the guy who went on Meet The Press 2 days before the election and said Bush had no right to question Gore's military record when he didn't show up for his last year of duty? Or to talk about Gore's minimal pot use when Bush refused to talk about cocaine allegations?

"The issue about George Bush is not the fact that he may have used it, said Kerry. "The issue about George Bush is, how can you, if you have (used cocaine), have a position that is so at odds in terms of being a governor where you send a lot of other people who may have done the same thing you do to jail. That's the issue. It's not a question of whether he used it or when he used it, it's a question of what his policy is today and whether that's hypocritical and dangerous."

"Two days before the election Senator Kerry tried to raise the AWOL questions again on NBC's Meet the Press, but no one cared."

That guy?

I think Kerry would have blown Dick "Other Priorities" Cheney out of the water at the debates, and Gore would have won by presenting a real alternative to Bush's compassionate fundamentalism.

Think Gore might have changed his mind about Kerry this time around?

1. You bet

Vice President Kerry :) although I like the idea of President Kucinich I dont mind President Kerry.
Remember when Limbaugh and them said he looked French first of all wtf does that mean and I think Kerry kinda has that Irish look imagine him with the mustache we discussed earlier doc funk, stranger thing have happened, Al Gore's beard, and the ultimate laugh Bill Clinton with a beard, Ive seen him with one, it was an old picutre though.

2. the women issue

i heard one reason kerry didn't make it in the end was because of his "playboy past" and gore at the time was trying to get away from clinton because of his "women issues". bad move in my opinion. thanks for posting what kerry said. i actually remember kerry going after bush on this, but could not remember specifics. this is around the time i got to k now a bit more about kerry, and wanted gore to pick him to be vp. i remember i really thought he was going to pick kerry and was getting excited over it.

3. I heard Graham was.

I figure if Graham had been the VP nominee, I would't be posting on this board with my present Avatar!
