They should never call a state and get everyone excited only to call it back and give it to the other guy. OBAMA BIDEN 08

What most ppl dont realize is that NH was one of the most Republican (NOT however, conservative) states in the union. New England used to be dominated by socially liberal, fiscally conservative "Rockefeller" Republicans for years. As the Republican party drifted further to the right, particularly on social issues, they alienated this portion of the country. Clinton only eeked out 2 wins here thanks to Perot. Gore's better chance was winning his home state, Tennessee (crazy as it sounds!!).

@concealedknight Well, there's no way of knowing whether 9/11 would or wouldn't have happened under a Gore presidency, but I could almost assure you Gore would have never attacked Iraq (which, again, had nothing to do with the attacks). He also would have never implemented the 1.5T in tax cuts of the then-government surplus - his plan was to take the surplus and invest in education, energy, and infrastructure.

@kbean5588 what if gore won

[stage51manager]

@jbfootballkid ummm unemployment rate wasn't at 5.8% in 2008. If Gore was our 43 President There wouldn't been a terrorist attack on 9/11, no war in Iraq, health care for all, gas prices low, no stock market crash, no forecloses on houses, unemployment would be at least under 3%, Surplus would be $15 Trillion at least, and Joe Liberman would be our 44th President right now, (1st Jewish President).

I have this tape and the first called it for Gore. The problem is every network including Fox News used flawed exit polling . Even when the called it for Gore they showed the real numbers coming in and Bush was way ahead in Florida. Later every network changed it to Bush .

@jbfootballkid 5.8? More like between 7.8-8.0. Who's been feeding you this crap? And what about the year of 2010 and halfway through 2011 when it was at 9.1. It even went all the way down as low as 8.7 until it started rising back up again.

Actually alot of Republicans Presidents were our Greatest Presidents.

Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, Teddy Roosevelt, Ulysses S. Grant, Dwight Eisenhower were all Republican Presidents!

@dogeymon83 global warming is the most bogus thing event thought up by democrats. even liberal scientists will agree to that

[Taxi502]

@monkfan14 yes ur right. that way the government will eventually pay for everything. welfare, medicaid and food stamps will reach astronomical figures. americans will stop working so hard because- why should they? they r working hard n getting the same as people who lay on their couch all day. now the hard workers will work less effectively, the welfare people will do even less till eventually everyone does nothing but put in a minimal effort. socialism at its finest. vote blue n keep ur money

[jbfootballkid]

thank god that bush won. i dont know where this country would be if gore had been elected. in this election neither party chose a great candidate but at least a republican won. and by the way when bush was president the unemployment rate was at 5.8% in 2008 and in 2009 when obama was president it rose to 10.8%. think wisely when voting in 2012

The major networks got it right the first time.
