Reply #62: Gore was never Chairman of the DLC - he was a member, but

turned his back on them during the 2000 campaign, which kind of screwed things up as it wound up with a continuity break in the management of his campaign. It also meant that hardcore DLCer Lieberman was less than enthusiastic in supporting his own running mate. It left Gore with a mixed message that did not resonate with either the DLCers or the old Democratic base - and despite that he won anyway.
