He was afraid that allowing Bill Clinton to campaign for him would dirty his sheets. It was a huge miscalculation. Monicagate notwithstanding, Clinton remained hugely popular, especially in the very black communities where Gore needed high turnouts. That included . . . Dade County, Fla.<BR/><BR/>Gore had his chance. He blew it. But as the Highway Scribe noted, he hasn't stopped trying to give to his country -- even if he didn't do a good enough job of convincing his fellow Americans to make him president.

Yes, he may have chosen the wrong people, I can't put the full blame on him.<BR/><BR/>I think Gore was a guy like me, who desperately wants everyone to like him and is terrified of making someone not like him. That is his biggest drawback as a person.Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749196664742324339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19217611.post-1145468644121197692006-04-19T13:44:00.000-04:002006-04-19T13:44:00.000-04:00Looks great.
