Instead, Al Gore is in a fight with one of the dullest, uninspiring candidates I've ever seen (namely Bill Bradley) and the Clinton adminstration continues to be an embarrassment to the Democrats with the FALN terrorist debacle, WACO, Hillary for Senate, and who knows what else.
Gore runs ads and makes speaches accusing bush and cheyney of ruining the enviroment, supporting apparthied, starving children, denying healthcare to children, wanting to ruin SS, lying to minorities, working for drug companies, working for oil companies, and ruining texas all in the interest of helping a the rich.
Gore, who I might add was to receive the endorsement of the Internet adult entertainment industry this weekend, recently launched into yet another campaign falsehood - called an "indignant tale," by the Washington Times - when he said a prescription drug cost more for his mother-in-law than for his dog.

 Guardian | Gore was a bit of a lefty. No risk of Blair going that way
They think Gore blew it, and are determined not to follow his example.
What they really condemn Gore for is desertion of the cause they shared with Clinton: the social centrism of the third way, balancing liberalism with "responsibility" and right with left.
What Clinton and Blair shared, Gore partly ditched, thereby imperilling a constituency that Clinton and his friends at the Democratic Leadership Council had spent a decade building.

For example, Bush has attacked Gore for exaggerating the number of days a female Florida teen had to stand in a science class because she didn't have a seat, while Bush exaggerated the number of backers he had within a group of Lousiana lawmakers.
The implication, of course, is that the role of the media is not to report what is actually happening during a political campaign, but to flesh out a fictional scenario that reporters use to fit portions of what supposedly goes on during the campaign day into their deadlined stories.
Gore has been under the media spotlight for his so-called lies (all of them nearly or 100% true and not lies at all).

Without Bill Clinton in the White House, without Gore segueing right in on his heels, indeed without any liberal in executive power inside the Principality of Beltwayvia, their unreal world is crumbling before their very disbelieving eyes.

This is frightening stuff, folks, because a Gore presidency would mean ever increasing government control of our lives in the name of junk science, accelerated global governmental tyranny in order to “save the earth.” It’s a grim prospect, and it’s not far fetched.
In Paul West’s piece, there is not a single cautionary word about Al Gore’s environmental extremism, not a hint that, in the words of one of his film’s critics, “Every single word is bulls**t.” Remember, we’re not supposed to doubt the imminent peril man has put the earth in because of his greenhouse gas emissions.
Patrick Michaels and Steve Malloy will be with us during this afternoon’s show, as we once again try to point out that there is plenty of science casting much doubt on Al Gore and his followers’ fervent greenness.

He found it significant that McCarthy is still vilified while modern-day politicians, such as Vice President Al Gore, get away with major gaffes and exaggerations on a regular basis.
