To be fair Al Gore could have dropped out earlier, or he could have asked for a proper recall the first time around. It was a pity that he asked for what amounted to an illegal one. That was a bad strategy. But that election had more than one screw up. The press announced to quickly that Gore won Florida, possibly suppressing the vote in the heavily Republican pan handle. The whole thing was a mess.You're projecting. It's the Republicans who pitch tantrums.
Democrats suffer from over-niceness. They tend to bow out gracefully at the first sign of controversy. Look how quickly Al Gore conceded or Al Franken resigned.
