Re: an arteest

Good point...I was thinking about this earlier today. Seems like he was a
liability wherever he stumped for candidates during the midterm elections,
and once someone's lost a Presidential election, they seldom get a second
chance. Walter Mondale, for example, won every election he ran for until
he ran against Bush Sr., but when he lost the Presidential race he retired
from politics. Even though Gore only "kinda" lost, he still only won the
popular vote by around 1% nationally, lost his home state, and only really
won the states where the Dems were expected to win anyhow. His wasn't a
strong performance.
