If Gore-D picked Cleland as his VP in 2000 instead of Lieberman, would he have won?

Would it have make it easier for Biden-D to pick Duckworth as the 2020 Democratic VP nominee?

Cleland is a disabled veteran from the Vietnam War.
Duckworth is a disabled veteran from the Iraq War.

1. Perhaps

perhaps not. Hard to say.

2. they stole that election as well.

Remember the "Brooks Brothers Riot"? Supreme court giving it to bush, though he lost?

3. No, Lieberman wasn't the problem and he actually helped Gore because the big issue than was things

like Clinton and his affairs and other non issues.

And those who claimed there was no difference between Bush and Gore .

4. He definitely could have done better than that.

Lieberman was the ultimate snooze.

5. No. The American people have shown repeatedly

that they do NOT like Vietnam veterans. We embarrass our fellow citizens; they don't like to remember that we exist. Three presidential candidates in a row (of different parties) were defeated: Gore, Kerry, and McCain. Two Vietnam veterans - one disabled - on the same ticket would have been the certain kiss of death. That's just the brutal, honest truth, which is what Democrats need if we're going to win.

By the way, nkpolitics1212, I really enjoy your Senate projections. Thanks for all your research and for sharing it with us!

6. had Gore selected any one BUT Lieberman he would have won

7. Lieberman's whining

about being sorry to be a Democrat was vomit worthy.

8. Had Gore picked Howard Dean in 2000, he would have won New Hampshire and been elected President

That yell in 2004 was nothing, the media made too much of it

And yes I was a Deaniac
