I believe in my heart that Gore was the man and should have been Pres. http://polivox.files.wordpres...

Al Gore Rocks, but Barack Obama's the greatest!

democrate

Thanks.

Here are the poll results at this time...

16 net votes for Al Gore (Democrat) [ 17 - 1 = 16 ]

4 votes for Harry Browne (Libertarian)

2 votes for Alan Keyes (Republican)

2 votes for Bill Bradley (Democrat)

2 votes for Howard Phillips (Constitution)

1 net vote for Pat Buchanan (Reform) [ 2 - 1 = 1 ]

1 write-in vote for Bob Kerrey

4 net votes AGAINST John McCain (Republican) [ 1 - 5 = -4 ]

28 votes AGAINST George W. Bush (Republican)

note: This is counting three write-in votes as follows...
1 for Al Gore
1 against George W. Bush (cast as a negative write-in in place of a positive vote)
1 for Bob Kerrey of Nebraska.

That's 66 votes total, with Al Gore's 16 net votes being equal to eight thirtythirds or about 24.24% of the gross total votes cast, while George W. Bush's net vote count of 28 against would give him negative fourteen thirtythirds or about -42.42% of the total gross vote count, for a spread of 44 net votes in favor of Al Gore over George W. Bush out of 66 gross total votes for or against any candidate. That's a 66.666...% spread in favor of Al Gore over George W. Bush.

The winning net vote count at this time (July 1st, 2008) would therefore be
Al Gore with a net vote count of 16 in this dual-vote balanced plurality poll.

Al Gore was my choice. I wish he would consider running again or at least being VP.

It's a nice thought. :)

algore would make a good vice for Obama ....

Yes, I think so also... but he is even more disenfranchised with the election process than the people who unsuccessfully attempted to get their votes for him counted in the 2000 presidential election.

you think

I've talked about it directly with someone who works with him... and yes, that is the impression that I got.

okay ....

I'm still hoping people will be able to change his mind and get him to consider the vice presidency... but if not, I think Bill Richardson would make a great vice president also and seems to be a popular choice.

that is for sure ...

no comment

Vote for Harry Browne, acknowledged. Thanks. :)

Yes, I know... complicated stuff. That's one of the biggest reasons why it's so important to balance the background noise of votes that are not well thought out with the ability to counteract some of them.

Here are the results of this dual-vote poll so far...

12 net votes for Al Gore (Democrat) (13 - 1 = 12)

3 Vote for Harry Browne (Libertarian)

2 Vote for Howard Phillips (Constitution)

I'm posting it here for others to see as well. I notice you have already found the Negative vote part at...
http://www.sodahead.com/poll/...

that's kinda scary for some,

note-
on the 'mccain' vote-
I was talking with a coworker an hour ago. We came to the conclusion that the Dems may win this years Pres. Election because no one really believes McCain enough to honestly vote for him.
I think for McCain to bring Republicans to his side is to maybe find Newt Gingrich or Oliver North to balance his ticket.

Some people are easily scared. Some people know that and play on those fears. That's why it's scary for some... but fortunately, some of us are not that easily fooled.

Yes, I have heard that about McCain also. I'm not sure who I would want as his vice president if he were to win, but I wouldn't want to help decide that anyway since I will probably leave the country while we still have the freedom to do so if he wins the presidency, so it wouldn't be fair in that case for me to have had a say in who would be his vice president.

yes, but, do we want 'what is fair' for America, or do we want 'what is best' for America ?

I would prefer what is best for America, if I had to decide between the two, but I would rather us have both what is fair and what is best for America and for the world. That's why I have worked so hard all of my life to make the world a better place, and also why I have worked so hard for most of my adult life to get us the right to vote against someone, and it is why I have worked so hard to promote Barack Obama for president. :)

Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, I love the song he sang during a campaign event and the fact that he was the only senator to vote against the first gulf war, and some idiots actually questioned his patriotism. A Congressional Medal of Honor winner who lost his leg. Imagine that probably what inspired him to sing this: Listen to the 2007 version

Thanks for the write-in vote for Bob Kerrey, and for the thoughtful comment and the nice video. :)

Boy would things have been different...

Can't I just vote twice against Bush? Why should those that have somebody they're for and somebody they're against get two votes when those who only have someone they're for, or, someone they're against, only get one vote?

Sure... don't see why not. I didn't make any rules against it in this poll and I am the one advocating for balance in the election system. Actually, I mentioned this as an option in one of my more recent polls... but of course it can make counting the votes much harder since write-ins have to be looked for and counted one at a time.

So, okay.... one write-in against George W. Bush. I'll go ahead and count it that way.

Here are the poll results at this time...


16 net votes for Al Gore (Democrat) [ 17 - 1 = 16 ]

4 votes for Harry Browne (Libertarian)

2 votes for Alan Keyes (Republican)

2 votes for Bill Bradley (Democrat)

2 votes for Howard Phillips (Constitution)

1 net vote for Pat Buchanan (Reform) [ 2 - 1 = 1 ]

1 write-in vote for Bob Kerrey

4 net votes AGAINST John McCain (Republican) [ 1 - 5 = -4 ]

28 votes AGAINST George W. Bush (Republican)

note: This is counting three write-in votes as follows...
1 for Al Gore
1 against George W. Bush (cast as a negative write-in in place of a positive vote)
1 for Bob Kerrey of Nebraska.

The winning net vote count at this time (July 1st, 2008) would therefore be
Al Gore with a net vote count of 16.

This is what I did, and I will never forgive:

1) Jeb Bush
2) Ralph Nader

I would have voted for Gore, but I think he ought to stick to what he's doing to prevent more diastrous global warming.

The rest of the folks? Irk...

So is this a write-in vote then? and if so, for whom?

Well, it's in the past anyway so it's not like we can change it now... I suppose I could count that as a write-in.

That's right Al, you lost... but what if the Anybody But Bush crowd could have actually voted?

I voted for McCain in the 2000 primary and then voted for Bush when McCain didn't get the nomination.
