Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
I guess I should have added Nader & Buchanan, but I thought even a dead Pat Paulson would garner more votes. Sorry about that.

Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
I was very excited about McCain in 2000, but that kinda went nowhere. So yeah, it's very hard to imagine how Al Gore could have been a worse President.
Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
If there's no third party option, there at least has to be a suicide/leave the country option. As the poll stands, I'd vote for Bush. Frankly, Gore scares me.
Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
Pretty sure I went for Browne that year. If I had it to do over again, I might give the nod to Hagelin, of the Natural Law Party.

Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
McCain.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
I voted for Bush but we got Nadir.
I can't see myself voting for Bush again (I couldn't do it in 2004). I'd not be happy about voting for Gore, but it would be quite interesting to see how he'd have handled the September 11th attacks and where we'd be today. I also wonder how a Bush presidency would have unfolded had September 11th not turned it on its head.

Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
Well I already voted for Gore back in 2000, so the point is rather moot in my case. I'd already seen through Bush's facade as the "idiot in wolf's clothing" that he is, so I opted for the lesser of two evils.
Yeah, me too. I was extremely disappointed when he didn't get the nomination -- he's one of the relatively few Republicans I've always respected/admired. If he'd had gotten his party's nod, I think things would've been dramatically better than they currently are.

Al Gore is an idiot savant and i have no idea who pat paulson is.

As opposed to being a plain idiot like Bush?

Paulson was a dead-pan comedian and expert at 'double-talk' who ran faux-campaigns, and nevertheless garnered a few protest votes, from the late 60's into the 90's. He once said:
"All the problems we face in the United States today can be traced to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian."

Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
With Al Gore, America would be plastered with solar and wind power plants, the industry would be obliged to filter their emissions, leading to industrial collapse and an even bigger banking debacle due to lack of investments, Afghanistan and Iraq would make a terrorist attack in the US every week and China would also note that the US president is a green wuss and invade, IT WOULD BE THE END OF THE WORLD!!!

Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
If I could have voted I'd have gone for Gore, especially in hindsight, even though not being from a swing-state my vote would hardly matter and the Supreme Court would take over where the electorate "failed" anyway.

Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
I didn't vote in 2000, and I likely wouldn't vote again for either Bush or Gore. I voted Bednarik in 2004 because I felt the same way with Bush/Kerry. There is something inherently wrong with the party nomination process, neither party seems capable of giving us an electable candidate, and the 2 year campaign is not helping one bit.

Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
Gore was a moron, Kerry was an even bigger moron and Obama has the potential to be an even bigger moron. If the republicans suck so bad why is it that the Dems can’t find anyone who can put a slam-dunk win against them. I don’t know if there has ever been a worse case of the lesser evil than 00, 04 and 08.

Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
I voted for Bush despite my anger at my home State of New York for it's machinations in keeping McCain off the Republican nomination ballot. I preferred McCain, but voted Bush due to Clinton fatigue and the fact I believed, and still do, that Gore is a moron.

Re: If you could go back to 2000 who would you vote for?
if there is one thing that Republicans are clearly better than Democrats at it´s campaigning.....the Republican party as an organization (not every single member mind you but as an organization) has absolutely no scruples...and that comes in very handy during an election campaign.

Yea, I'd vote for the idiot who knows he's an idiot vs. the idiot who thinks he's a genius.
