the only palatable politicians will be guys like Gore, because Gore is never going to cast a vote you don't like. All Gore has to do is go around making speeches--he never has to make a difficult decision, he never has to vote on an unpopular bill, he never has to appease his constituency. All he has to do is talk. And so many people's demands are so unrealistic that the only politician who won't eventually "betray" them is one who never gets the opportunity.
