Then in 2000 the Democrats are again going with the southern candidate Al Gore who had been the vice president from Tennessee
2000年的大选中民主党再次提名了来自南部的候选人戈尔，他来自田纳西州，曾任副总统
He does not take his home state that actually was even all that close
但他没有赢得田纳西的选票，尽管他在那的支持率只是落后一点点
and you get a very different map, you get a map that looks a lot like the map of 2004
2000年的选情地图发生了很大变化，但和2004年大选的情况却非常相同
with just a couple of exceptions like New Mexico Iowa and New Hampshire, otherwise it's pretty much the same map
只有几个例外的州有点差异，如新墨西哥，爱荷华，和新罕布什尔州，其余州的选情几乎一模一样
so even though Gore is another southern candidate of a moderate political background
尽管戈尔也是一名来自南方的政客且同样有着温和派的背景
He was by the time in the election much more associated with the liberal wing
但在他参选的时候他代表更多的是自由派
He ran on a more liberal and progressive platform
他主张更为自由，激进的政纲
He was also heavily tied in with environmentalism
他同时是一位坚定的环保主义者
Being probably the greenest major candidate we've had
也许是大选史上最提倡环保的候选人
A strategy that did not sell very well in the south
然而南方的选民似乎不吃这套
didn't sell very well, in much of the Intermountain West either, but very very narrow and of course as you remember
在西部山区，也没有得到很好的响应，但你一定记得这是场非常接近的大选
Gore actually did win plurality of the votes, but did not win because of the electoral college
事实上戈尔获得了大部分的选民投票，但他败在了选举人票上
and Ralph Nader was 2.7 as often viewed as having spoiled it for Gore, because of the Florida vote where Nader took 100,000
第三方竞选人纳达获得2.7%的支持，但正是这2.7%坏了戈尔的好事，因为他在佛州抢走了戈尔10万选票
Going to Kerry and Bush 2004, a very similar map, like I say it with a few exceptions
来看04年克里对阵布什的情况，选情非常相似，像我说的只有极少区别
We will look a lot of this map just in a few minutes
我们有几分钟过一下这幅地图
