| − | The close 2000 presidential election included debates for the Republican and Democratic nominees, [[George W. Bush]] and [[Al Gore]]. Three Presidential debates occurred and one Vice presidential debate between [[Dick Cheney]] and [[Joe Lieberman]]. Gore did poorly in the first debate by sighing, rolling his eyes and giving irritated expressions. He became more subdued in the next debate, done in seated format. He became more aggresive in the town-hall style debate, while walking about on the stage. Bush did somewhat better using zingers like "fuzzy math" with success. Compared to the presidential debates, the vice presidential debate was very tame and relaxed. Lieberman and Cheney both agreed that it was highly civilized and calm, while they disagreed on alot of subjects <ref> http://www.pbs.org/newshour/debatingourdestiny/doc2000.html </ref>. The Bush/Cheney ticket narrowly defeated the Gore/Lieberman ticket only after a long dispute over Florida's vote. The election was concluded by the Supreme Court's decision in [[Bush v. Gore]], which came in Bush's favor. | + | The close 2000 presidential election included debates for the Republican and Democratic nominees, [[George W. Bush]] and [[Al Gore]].
