If you had to pick a moment in recent history when bipartisanship died a horrible death, you could do worse than the moment Gore called Bush to retract his concession in the 2000 Election.
We've had close elections in the past and the loser gracefully bowed out. In 2000, Gore held the peaceful transition of Presidential power hostage to his insane view of a recount (but only in heavy Democrat districts). We know the rest. Bush had more votes but the process was damaged and the relations between Dems and Republicans was shattered
Who called Gore and made him retract his concession?
Was it a Dem power broker and financier like Soros?
Was it Vlad Putin through his surrogate Ted Kennedy?
