the way I heard it, Gore won the first one but paid Bush announcements
turned the public against the winner:

Edward Straight, chairman of Bush's internet
operations staff, said his organization's latest
research shows that fully 80 percent of messages
favorable to Bush on Bush message boards are put
there by paid staff of the Bush Campaign. Upwards
of 40 percent of pro-Bush messages posted on other
non-Bush controlled boards are posted by hired
Bush public relations personnel, Straight said.

The entire operation is run out of basement offices
in a downtown Pittsburgh, Pa. bank, Straight reports.
"the cost advantages of this kind of campaign are
enormous," said Straight. "For a few hundred thousand
dollars we have been able to hire nearly 400 internet
users to repost our campaign materials and to maintain
a presence on all message boards."

"Make no mistake about it," Straight said, "The postings
you see extolling and defending the candidacy of George
W. Bush Jr. are not for the most part posted by amateurs
-- they're paid professional and there are a lot of them.
We think they're doing a bang up job."

One cannot look at any major party candidate of recent history and
honestly say they have a shred of integrity or did not use dirty tricks.
Al Gore, for example, likes to bribe the country with their own money,
but expanding on "public services." He outright ignores the 10th amendment
of the constitution that explicitely says he has no right, nor does
congress,
without changing the constitution, to follow through on such promises.

But the thing is that dirty tricks, or good clean tricks, work exceptionally
well. The public has become, as a whole, so stupid that the presidency is
essentially bought by whoever invests most on 30 second spots and appears
most competent when debating issues that are so evidently unconstitutional.

In short, vote libertarian and get involved in local government.
