PROBLEM

XTRA CREDIT:Why did the incumbent party (Gore-Lieberman) loose so many popular votes? Be sure to incorporate your answer from Part 1b into your answer here.

JUSTIFICATION FOR MULTIPLE CHOICE (a) AS THE BEST ANSWER FOR PART 1b

Of the 8 a-through-h multiple choices in Part 1b "a" is the best one.

To wit:
If we look at the choices in reverse order we get:
Answer can't be
(h: None of Above) because "a" is more applicable than is no answer as well as is (b OR c) and/or (d OR e) depending on how loosely you define your terms.
Answer can't be
(g: All of Above) because (b & c) are mutually exclusive as is (d & e) depending on how tightly you define your terms.
It can't really be
(f) because this applies more to the actual Clinton Presidency than to the Gore-Lieberman aspiring Presidency.
What about
(e) losers? NOT, because true loser is one who is anti-goal achievement and this not the case for any of the contenders. For elaboration see P.S. in As I was saying...
Or
(d) victims? NOT, because all victims are helpless and if not helpless then NOT victim and Gore-Lieberman NOT helpless (as to whether or not they or any of us religiously indoctrinated post neonates were helpless victims is a different issue).
So this leaves
c or
b or
a.
Since
b isn't fair to Mr. Lieberman and
c is ambiguous this leaves
(a) as the only --hence best-- choice.
