Oh, y'know, tallying his votes, conceding his defeat even though it was actually a victory, growing a beard, things like that.

Oh yeah, he gave up alright. He went to the Florida Supreme Court, got his recount wish granted, and then the US SC shut him down. What more would you have had the man do, hmm?

Well, naturally when you lose an election everything you say for the rest of eternity is without merit. Every word. Duh.

How about actually take a hand in his party's politics and run for president instead of allowing Kerry founder on ahead and possibly lose to Bush, dooming us to another four years of nonsense? Really, Gore has some real ideas and it sure would've been nice if he'd done something with them instead of waiting this long and lashing out now.

I really don't see much relevance in that statement.
Clearly the Democratic Party didn't want Gore to run again.
I think it's silly to describe the Kerry campaign as foundering in May...these many months before the campaign season begins in earnest.

Mabye "foundering" is a bit harsh, but he's got less than half the campaign money Bush does and if he buys more time (to accept additional campaign contributions) by not accepting the nomination at the Democratic Convention, it'll hurt his campaign because the networks wont give the convention as much (if any) coverage.
Just the other night I saw Tom Brokow mention that it would'nt be worthwhile for any network to cover the convention of Kerry doesnt accept the nomination because it would just be a big pep rally.
So mabye "foundering" is not too far off after all.
What makes you think the Democratic Party did not want Gore to run again? It looked to me like losing was painful to him and he kinda bowed out of the spotlight to recover.
Even if he decided (or the paty decided) not to run again, it's pretty late to be voacl about what he thinks is wrong in the Bush Administration: his fellow Democrats have not been shy about their views, after all.

"...he's got less than half the campaign money Bush does..."
That was always going to be the case. Bush is an incumbent president with no legitimate competition within his party. There's no way Kerry could have gathered more money. Are you saying he should have quit before he started?
Not to mention that Bush is unscrupulous, amoral, idiotic, responsible for ruining this country and others, and just an all-around shitstain. So, Kerry's already winning on that account.

No...Kerry's not winning anything as long as Bush can continue to drown out issues with his commercials.
Speaking of wich, I have not seen any Kerry commercials in a while (though I admit to not watching the major networks at all- CNN not included).
I think if he decides not to accept the nomination at the convention, his campaign will wane.
And that would be a bad thing for everyone.

This would be a great time for a big white spaceship to come crashing down on a japanese island. Or a smaller, red candlewax-ship could land and drop off some pointyears in rural Montana. Either is fine.
