Is Gore popular in Tennessee?

[UnityDem]

In reading boards and articles that want to "draft Gore", I have wondered about this topic. With all of the hoopla about Florida, some forget that if Gore had only have won his home state that he would have been Prez. I remember reading a quote from Gore in 2001, that he planned to go back to Tennessee to "rebuild some bridges". Has that happened? I would love to see a Tennessee poll on Gore. Not asking people about 2008 necessarily. Would like to see this question asked. "Is your opinion of Al Gore generally favorable or unfavorable?".

1. Gore is definately more favorable today ...

Folks that were complaining are showing more pride...those who said he was done are now saying he could make a comeback...

2. I think the reason he didn't win his home state.

Is because he picked Lieberman, a jew to be his runningmate. Must of pissed off the racsists there royally.

3. Lieberman Had Little to Do With It

The Republicans had - and still have - a very well-oiled machine in TN.

4. Simply put Gore didn't win TN

because he didn't campaign here

5. There were voting irregularities in TN, too.

It didnt' just happen in FL.

7. Exactly....

6. He took us for granted

and it came back to bite him. As best as I remember he didn't campaign here except for a Nashville stop or two. 2000 was when outrage finally got me to take notice of politics. Shamefully, I didn't lift a finger here to help him, thinking that surely everyone would want another 4 years of peace & prosperity...
