Gore, please, on general Democratic principles, and for a reason his ads and speeches have barely mentioned: that by all accounts, he's already been a clear-headed, moderate, energetic, and wise addition to the White House.
Gore may have had a similarly privileged background, but he's earnestly using it to make a difference and a significant contribution as a citizen.
I think Gore is nearly as smart in the realm of governance as he is stupid in the realm of campaigning.

 Politics1: Presidency 2000 - Harry Browne (Libertarian - Tennessee)
Although Browne ultimately won the nomination this year with 56% of the delegate votes (his nearest opponent captured just 19%), expect Hornberger to continue his harsh anti-Browne attacks in an attempt to further damage Browne's fundraising efforts for the general election.
Browne will be on the ballot 49 states (the renegade Arizona LP gave their ballot line to an altnerative ticket -- see below), but still lags in a distant fifth place behind Bush, Gore, Nader and Buchanan.
Running at only 1% in the national polls, Browne is unlikely to be included in the televised Presidential debates (although -- to be fair -- his nationwide ballot status should entitle him to participate).

When later his methods were denounced by Samuel Williams and William Williams, and McLean was called upon by Governor Thomas Gore Browne to explain his methods, he admitted the practice but wrongly attributed Maori resistance solely to the influence of a land league in Taranaki, or to the emissaries of the King movement.
Together Browne and McLean withstood the pressure of the settler parliament and ministry to establish their authority over native policy, and secured the disallowance of the Native Territorial Rights Act 1858, which would have introduced direct purchase of Maori land by settlers, subject to buyers' paying a tax to the government.
When in 1860 Browne and McLean convened a large meeting of Maori leaders at Kohimarama to rally support for the government's position, McLean's resolution placing the responsibility for the war directly on Kingi was greeted with embarrassment and confusion.
