points out the reason Al Gore COULDN'T do any more than he did in 2000. Not only were the votes not there in the House to put him in as president, but because the Senate was a tie between the two parties, as president of the Senate Gore would have been forced to pick a VP, which would have been a conflict of interest. Furthermore, Senator Joe Lieberman, Gore's running mate in 2000, would have had to step aside from casting a vote because a conflict of interest, too. The result of Cheney being VP would have happened regardless.
This is why I was pissed off at the likes of Michael Moore claiming Gore "wimped out" and "didn't do enough" in 2000. He couldn't legally.
