Actually he did care about the votes, that's why he went to court. The whole
Florida thing was a mess from the get go. Gore is just as guilty and tried
to tilt the court in his favor, it didn't work. Was the Florida Supreme
Court at all biased? Everyone acts like Gore was a pure as the driven snow
and somehow it was snatched away from him by eeeeevil Bush lawyers. It
wasn't. Gore mounted a legal strategy to try and win and got beat by Bush's
legal strategy. What was Bush supposed to do? Just let Gore file suit and
selectively recount? And here's a newsflash, it's NEVER been about more cast
votes, it's always been ELECTORAL VOTES. Next time nominate a better
candidate that can decisively beat the opponent. You'd think with the
economy so good Gore would have pile driven Bush. Bush won, get over it.
Don't continue to make the stupid arguments Republicans tried when Cliton
won (he didn't get a majority....if it weren't for Perot....).
