Really?  

Al Gore lost the 2000 election, largely because he was painted as a climate kook.

 @419623b4 @3967703f Al Gore won that election because he won Florida but Roger Stone led the Brooks Brothers Riot to get the people in MDC to stop counting. 

Oh, and Third Party Ralph Nader got 97,000 votes in Florida way more than the 500 or so votes in MDC that supposedly tipped it to Bush. 

So, no, Gore didn't lose because he was a climate kook. He won and the GOP stole it.
