ABC The 2000 Vote

[newt0830]

this liberal....was so in the gore camp...he called texas for gore..

[msmithstud]

Didn't obama win most of the south in 2008. If i recall he did win Alabama and Georgia. 

[altfactor]

I believe that ABC stations in the Eastern and Central; time zones got network coverage beginning at 7 P.M. ET; while Mountain and Pacific time zone stations did not get network coverage until 5 P.M. PT/6 MT.

[Mr40acresandamule]

@irrelevent100 I see your points and they are true. I was basing what I said on changing demographics because they it has happen in my state of Virginia. It was ruby red up until really 2005.

[Mr40acresandamule]

In 3 more election cycles, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona will no longer be reliably Republican. They will become swing states.

[lbenberry]

People, because GORE lost TN (his home state) he lost the election FLA was goona go BUSH no matter what.

[STOPobama1]

Wait wait now how could Liberman campaign for Senate win it and still campaign for the VP?

[Atheist2006]

I still don't get it why the Tennesseans voted for Bush.

[KCTKOC]

@Atheist2006 Because they finally got some brains.  I have Tennesssee roots. Thank God (oops goodness) they started to wake up.

[UDflyer04]

i miss bush

[spongebobfan011]

too close to call in many states

[olehomer88]

How can the polls and the media be so false? They give Florida directly to Gore but Michigan and Pennsylvania two states which Gore won with an advantage of 4 to 6 percent are too close to call? That doesnt make sense.

[Monarchos]

@olehomer88 Not only that, they called Florida before the polls had closed in the entire state. They called it for Gore at 8:30, when the polls in the panhandle didn't close until 9 PM EST.

[Radar19792006]

Hard to believe this was 10 years ago. My first election...boy did I pick a DOOZY!

[gootenslog]

Dip Shit Gore couldn't even win his own state....what a loser.

[jsa4ever92]

i find it kinda funny...Liberman went from VP nominee for the Dems to losing a senitoral primary and endorsing John McCain for President in 2008...and McCain lost the Presidential Primiary in 2000 and flirted with becoming and independent...funny how much things change in 8 years

[simpsonsfan2007]

Gosh, I remember watching this as it happened. Hard to believe it's been 10 years.

[Radar19792006]

That WOULD have to have been my first election, LOL. I thought staying up until 2AM was bad...but waiting until DEC????

[Xone7]

What a nightmare, the 2000 election.

[novazembla]

IF ONLY.

[jkingsmill]

Now that was a fauxpas! Gore for Texas? HAHAHAHAAHA

[jkingsmill]

Now that was a fauxpas! Gore for Texas?  HAHAHAHAAHA

[Boobalopbop]

Oh what a different world we'd be in if Gore won... Supreme court really got this wrong!

[rstryker27]

According to the left wing an incorrect call for Gore while the polls were still open is fine but the correct call for Bush at 3:00 AM is a conspiracy .

[JMShuffield]

Isn't it mind blowing that they found Maine, Michigan and Pennsylvania, which Gore carried by decent margins (5-10%), "too close to call". And yet, Florida, which was decided by 500 votes, goes to Gore as soon as the polls closed? Bizarre...

[sandythebear]

Begining of the end of the u.s.

[MrSteve05]

Peter Jennings was sure missed in the 2008 election coverage.

[tmprogram]

fuck bush

[PsychedelicVideos]

@tmprogram easy to say that but your americunts still didn't do anything to get him out of office for 8 years.

big fail on your part.

[tmprogram]

@PsychedelicVideos well i sure as hell hated him and what the fuck was supposed to happen when half of the country actually liked him. and whatever country your from im sure you dont shit about anything

[PsychedelicVideos]

@tmprogram if you have someone who has taken office illegally it is your responsibility to do everything you can to remove him from power. you obviously failed to do so. everything he did you are responsible for. the blood of iraq and afghanistan is on your hands.

[tmprogram]

@PsychedelicVideos its on MY hands and IM responsible and I failed to do anything. fuck you you dont know shit

[PsychedelicVideos]

@tmprogram incorrect. if there is a judgement day americans will be the first cast into hell.

[tmprogram]

@PsychedelicVideos your a fuckin moron

[PsychedelicVideos]

@tmprogram incorrect. and you misspelled the word "you're" which only shows how stupid you are.

failure.

[tmprogram]

@PsychedelicVideos i dont gotta spell shit right for ur worthless ass!!

[PsychedelicVideos]

@tmprogram incorrect, you do.

you are a failure.

[tmprogram]

@PsychedelicVideos blow me

[PsychedelicVideos]

@tmprogram you have failed. i defeated you long ago.

[tmprogram]

[PsychedelicVideos]

@tmprogram i am not the loser, you are the one who was defeated.

you cannot retort.

[tmprogram]

[PsychedelicVideos]

@tmprogram i would rather be a dork than an american.

YOU HAVE BEEN VANQUISHED.

[emoanimeful]

Da good old daiis

[EsotericDesi]

People who voted for Bush were the ones to suffer the most... LOL! Assholes had their entire factories packed and shipped to China and thanks to their vote against all form of social benefits, are now ranting and raving in midwest w/ no help... entire wealth of this nation's squandered on unjust warn in Iraq and what was left was given to 1/10th of top 1% of the wealthiest in America... Cunts should now eat their "Family Values" they voted for, or, stick it up their own asses...

[Orgonagon]

This makes me feel old.

[AVSEAL2012]

Roth of Delaware is remembered now a days for the Roth IRA. Jack Robinson is running in the special election for the MA U.S. Senate seat in 2010.

[snoops71]

No one could tell the news like Peter Jennings. It's always a pleasure to hear his voice again.

[pjvalisnochannel]

this special anchor by the late peter jennings the world news tonight anchor...

[tbbyolumbatobby]

We need to see is Bush elected president!

[tbbyolumbatobby]

We need to see if Bush is elected president!

[jbench14]

Does anyone have the full abc coverage of the 2000 vote?

[Radar19792006]

@jbench14 I have CBS and CNN, but still on VHS.

[jbench14]

3:05 to 3:16 music is awesome!!!!

[thatskool101]

the only reason bush won is because is cousin counts the votes for florida

[radudeATL]

Not a lot of bells and whistle and whiz-bang sound effects. And Peter Jennings - what else is there to say? Those where the days...

[ToManyPhones]

If only Gore won...

[sandythebear]

@ToManyPhones If gore had won we would still be in a world of shit to be honest. That 2000 election was a full on lose-lose situation

[rockandrollgirls]

"Al Gore wins the state of Florida." - how true.

[richardescobedo]
