63. Unfortunately, he seemed to be saying so during the campaign
both through statements and omissions.

Don't get me wrong- Gore would have been a great president (though he'd have been a 1 termer if 9-11 occurred) but the political dynamics were such that many in the base had had ENOUGH far right policies hoisted on them from both sides.

It created a vacuum- which someone filled- and if it hadn't been Ralph, it could easily have been someone else. Perot, for example filled that role in 1992 (with respect to NAFTA- which of course, he was right about. Remember those charts and the "giant sucking sound?")
