I blame Gore for being both uncharismatic and inconsistent, and the Democratic party elites for running such a stupid campaign. He didn't even take his own state, or Clinton's home state. I didn't not vote for Gore because he was "the same" as Bush, I didn't vote for Gore because he sucked (plus, I live in a non-swing state).
I also blame the lack of instant run-off voting. It would have been great to see how many people would have voted for "Nader OR Gore". (I also blame this for Schwarzenegger's election, and maybe even Dean's rapid demise.)
