Why didn't Bill Clinton campaign for Al Gore in 2002?

Simple - - - because Al Gore ran in 2000 and though he won the election The Republicans seized power for Geo W, a choice   confirmed by The Supreme Court.\n\nAnd yes Bill did stump for his Veep but quietly and only to small groups, VEEPS are expected to win their own elections.  Reagan did not loudly endorse Geo H Bush in 1988 nor did Eisenhower for Dick Nixon in 1960, so tit for tat if you truly think you discovered something significant about Bill.\n\nPeace...

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.

Bill can't run for president and know one would vote for Hillary if she ran for president.\n\nCoach

I'm not sure...why don't you go ask Clinton. He may know, he almost was.

If you meant "if no presidential candidate . . " it's happened plenty of times before.\n\nIn 1992, Clinton won the election with a plurality of 43% of the votes or so, with Perot in the race as a third party candidate. (Bush the elder got 37% and Perot got 19%).\n\nThe same thing happened in 1996 when Clinton got only 49% of the vote and in 200 when Bush and Gore both got only 49% of the vote.\n\nIn fact, the last two times a candidate got a majority of the votes cast were 2005 and back to 1988 before that.

Nope!! Clinton is Democrat so no matter what he did the Republicans would never back him up that is just the way of politics.

Forget Al Gore.\n\nAfter the 2000 election and the comments he has made since then, there is no way the DNC is going to nominate him.

Yeah, and maybe Bill Clinton didn't have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky.

You guys are not getting the question. She isn't passing judgement on Clinton. What she is commenting on is that Gore avoided Clinton during his campaign because he believed it would be destructive to his winning, based on the bad press about his oval office activites. However, Gore was the foolish one because those of us who saw Clinton as a great President would have loved to see him in full swing in Gore's campaign and I do believe it would have made a difference in the results of the election. So, Zeebo, I do get where you are coming from!\nAnd I do see how it relates to the here and now because yes, this country and the world in general would be in a very different place had Gore won over Karl Rove and his puppet.

During an interview with Wolf Blitzer in 1999, what he actually said was: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."\n\nHe was referring to his involvement with and sponsorship of the High Performance Computing Act of 1991 which advanced the growth and mainstreaming of the Internet during the 1990s.  This statement was later defended by Internet pioneers Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf: "As the two people who designed the basic architecture and the core protocols that make the Internet work, we would like to acknowledge VP Gore's contributions as a Congressman, Senator and as Vice President. No other elected official, to our knowledge, has made a greater contribution over a longer period of time. "

Bill Clinton, when he was elected, was the third youngest person to hold the office of President, and the second-youngest elected (Teddy Roosevelt, the youngest, succeeded after McKinley's assassination.  The youngest elected, second youngest to hold, was Kennedy.)\n\nYounger Presidents can sometimes appeal to the American public], especially since he was elected to replace the older George H.W. Bush.  Clinton has a distinguished carrer for his age, he'd been elected governor of Arkansas 5 times before running for President.

Because the alternative was Al Gore, John Kerry and even Ralph Nader. You pick the lesser of the evil.

I so want Gore to run. He should run. He'll make a great president and no mistake. It's us Liberals turn to rub the NeoCons' noses in the dirt for a change. We can watch as Gore calmly reclaims the country that Clinton left in Bush's dirty hands. He will restore order, and restore the proper taxation that the fat cats should be paying.\n\nI'm so convinced of this that I plan on writing to Al Gore personally and ask him to do this for us. We need a strong leader and it's time for the Dems to meet that challenge.\n\nHere we are using the very medium that Gore worked so hard to bring about. Why wouldn't you vote for him. Without his legislation and tireless lobbying it's possible that the Internet would be confined to academia, government and the military only.\n\nWhat a guy!

Because no female candidate has yet to supercede the popularity of a male candidate. Hilary intends to run in 2008\n\nhttp://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8260059923762628848

Those were fair and free elections unlike the stolen election of 2000 and the vote fraud favoring Republicans in 2004.\n\nGet rid of Diebold, have paper ballots, and watch Florida and Ohio very very closely.  Bill Clinton's first election was NOT a right wing coup, like the Chimp's was.
