2000 Election Quotes



Although there were many irregularities in the 2000 election and many thought that Bush was not the rightful winner, Nadar’s statement is ironic. He entered the race as the Green Party Nominee and siphoned off many more votes from Gore than from Bush. In Florida, the pivotal state, Gore lost by less than 600 votes and but for Nader, Gore would have won and become President. Then for him to later blame Bush’s maneuvers for Gore’s defeat, ignoring his own determinative role struck most observers as the height of selective analysis.
