United States presidential election, 2000 (view source)
Revision as of 16:56, November 1, 2020
, 16:56, November 1, 2020→Last minute surprise
While Gore had enjoyed a lead through much of the campaign, a few days before the election Bush's bounce from the debates was enough to put him in the lead by a small margin. It was then that a "surprise" was dropped that Bush had a DUI in 1976, over two decades ago.<ref>http://archives.cnn.com/2000/ALLPOLITICS/stories/11/02/bush.dui/</ref> Blasted on the airwaves continuously before the election itself and with little time to defend it, undecided voters in the last days went heavily for Gore and actually gave him a plurality of the popular vote.
