Reply #20: He can be a compromise candidate but he has no right to tell people to drop out

This is not the Soviet Union. No one has the right to tell a campaign they have to stop. That's part of the beauty of this country. If you can pay your qualifying fee and get enough people to support you, you have a right to run a campaign, even if that campaign angers the hell out of everyone.

It would be a bad day for this country if one person had the veto power to say "we won't let you campaign anymore". It's a bad statement for the whole process.

However, I feel in the end, we may end up having to have a compromise nominee, and Gore would certainly be on the shortlist

If he is the nominee, then that's a decision that will be made by the delegates to the convention, and such an outcome becomes more likely with each day.
