Who do you think won the 2001 election: Gore or Bush?
147300
There was no presidential election in 2001. \n\nGore won the popular vote in the 2000 elections, Bush the electoral vote with some help from FLorida officials and Supreme Court justices. \n\nWhen will we have direct voting for presidents?

Gore didn't run in 2004, he ran in 2000.  John Kerry ran in 2004 and no Kerry wouldn't have won anyway.

Bush did.\nDo you realize that if Gore had won his home state (a typically Dem state) then w/ or w/o Florida he would have won the election?\nNow why wouldn't his own state want him elected?

President Bush. Even after the media conducted several recounts, they still came to the conclusion that Bush won.

I didn't know Gore was so active while in school, but I'd have to say George would win because he probably knows how to fight dirty. I can even picture him biting Gore, which Al would have no idea how to deal with. Interesting question, though. I look forward to reading the other responses.

Two words: George Bush.

It was Bill Clinton, of course. Some people may not want to admit this, but the only reason why Bush became president in 2000 is because his dad's friends on the Supreme Court bench handed him the Oval Office.  Some may argue that Bush won fair and square in 2004, but there is evidence that election fraud may have taken place then, as well. However, since Kerry didn't contest the results, no one talked much about it. Thank you, Diebold!

The consortium of newspapers who conducted an independent re-count of Florida votes following the 2000 election declared that Gore won the entire state of Florida no matter what standard was used to count the votes, but the NY Times and Washington Post and other media played it down because it was a month after the twin towers fell and they didn't want to undermine bush.  \nIf Gore were president the attack of september 11 would never have happened because he already knew about the attackers. Clinton had already thwarted several Al Quaeda terrorist attacks like the L.A. airport in 2000 (millenium attack), Lincoln tunnel, Holland tunnel, pope attack, and it was Gore who spearheaded legislation to secure airplanes and airports, but the airline industry didn't want to pay the dough. Clinton/Gore left the country with a $230 Billion Surplus that Bush squandered on a war he totally lied about.\nRight now, thanks to the un-elected Bush, we have a $8.4 trillion  deficit. Who do you think is paying for Bush's spending spree where he's giving away billions to his cronies the oil and defense contractors. We, the taxpayers are getting screwed. Get with it folks. READ! and listen to something other than mainstream media who are owned by the very corporations that donate to bush's campaigns (like Enron) and serve as his propaganda machines. Gore is the best choice.

I think Al Gore should have been elected instead of Bush. We might as well have elected a crack addicted monkey. Oh, we did! My bad!

1. That he is a well intentioned idiot.\n\n2. No, I made the best decision I could at the time.\n\n3. I don't think Americans think the voters are idiots. They made a bad judgment call because the choices were not very good. Gore might have turned our even worse then Bush.

Apparently not enough people did not dislike him for him to lose.  Had Gore been President when 9/11 happened he would have sued the terrorist's for polluting the air and causing global warming by their attack.  For this he would not have been re-elected had he won in 2000.  For 2004 Kerry lost a tight election.  All of you who say that these elections were stolen are not doing the system any good by doing that as we need more voters who care rather than less because they think it does not matter.

Although, just about anybody who has ever took the throne as the man in office, has all been a money sucking liar, Al seems to have the right mind to take charge. \n\nYou're right. Al Gore does have the right idea. He has shown more interest in the planet then anyone else has and definitely  has more care for the planet then George Bush does. George Bush wants to focus on Mars more then Earth!\n\nI'd say that Al Gore is a good candidate for president.

No he wouldn't. Unlike old Bush, Bill Clinton is not an idiot who would break the law for his son. Also, he wouldn't have had Jeb to help him with cheating in Florida. His father's friends were also the ones that got him into good schools, the Texas Air National Guard (where he received a Dishonorable Discharge), aand who got him his multiple oil companies he ran into the ground. Also, HE DID NOT GET THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTE IN 2000. THE SUPREME COURT WAS IN HIS POCKET, AND HE CHEATED IN FLORIDA. ONE MORE THING, GORE HAD THE POPULAR VOTE, MEANING THAT GORE HAD THE MAJORITY! So, no, Bush would have failed miserably in life and would have hopefully been in prison, as one answer said. But yes, it's still possible!

I would more then gladly vote for Gore. He is a strong democrat who is the only person who actually cares about our planet. Without our planet we wouldnt be able to worry about all the stupid things that Republicans worry about. He would be saving there asses. He's the only person who cares about Global Warming. I would actually feel safe on my planet if he where our president. He needs to run or else all hell will eventually break lose.

Gore is the bigger chump. Democrats like to complain that Bush stole the election in the courts but are quick to forget that Al Gore filed the first lawsuit trying to cherry-pick a handful of counties in Florida for votes. All George Bush did was out-Gore Al Gore.\n\nOther than that, a majority of Democrats chumps for seriously underestimating the values of middle America. Democrats assume that the majority of Americans hold their far left ideals and values when in truth most Americans think they have gone too far in quite a few areas. Weakness on defense, appeasing to the international community, the seculurism of our society, the attack on religion, their stance on abortion, etc. are all areas they need to seriously reevaluate their positions if they hope to regain any prominence.

George W. Bush ran against Al Gore not Clinton, you idiot.
