The Gore people knew that they had lost their bid by Thanksgiving when they failed to find the votes they were looking for in Miami. They cynically responded by continuing the charade with a propagana campaign designed to wrongly enrage their base and take advantage of media exposure. They never won a single count, though they crookedly eroded Bush's initial 15,000 lead in many devious ways. In the ensuing years they have undermined faith in our whole election system with their lies. They are enemies of the Republic, imho.
