haha balls: I'm reading Peter Baker's gabbneb-esque The Breach on the Clinton impeachment and Dem incompetence on capitalizing on public support for throwing out the GOP bums by limiting it to the '98 race (which nevertheless defied 60 years of history) is depressing.

I can't blame Gore for what happened in '00,

I watched the '04 returns in a bar, then the next night went and saw I Heart Huckabees and thought it nailed Red State vs. Blue State. Haven't seen it since, so I can't remember why.

In 04 I just remember feeling destroyed the next day

But maybe in a way it was a good thing. Politics will never, ever fuck me up like that again. No longer a virgin.

I felt destroyed for probably the next two months. I'm normally pessimistic but I had built up some hope that Kerry could win. xp

I recently found the playlist of angry songs I played on my college radio show the night after the '04 results, with 'thefacebook.com' scrawled at the top. All told, a sadly apropos document of where things went severely wrong in the mid-2000s.

I always remember a paid Dukakis spot, must have been a whole half-hour bio and campaign piece, running on, I think, one of the main networks onelection night '88. I just remember that thing running while the election was already a foregone conclusion and how sad it was.
― timellison, Thursday, 20 September 2012 01:39 (eleven years ago) link
Dukakis definitely the worst Dem candidate of my lifetime.

Don't know if anybody else watched this, but I thought Obama was really clunky, especially early on--he's been using the line about his daughters and men with guns for two years. There was something he said at one point that made me laugh, but I can't remember what it was. (The clip is edited down quite a bit.)

^^^this. sort of don't understand how he ever got the nom tbh.
I always hated Kerry. Anyone who voted for the Iraq war is imho either a cynical sycophant or a moron, it was a total dealbreaker for me. While I desperately wanted Dubya to lose, I had few illusions about Kerry's prospects, and was still bummed when he lost. Of course, the next 4 years were an unmitigated disaster for our country, but the whole decade was such a colossal tragedy.

As I recall, the non-dukakis candidates were a damned skimpy meal. my memory says things like paul tsongas and that illinois guy with the bow-ties. I could google it, but can't be arsed.

Tsongas was '92, Paul Simon in '88 – and Hart, Biden (lol), a few.

Gore gets the paramount blame for "losing" the election in every way possible.
