Gore in 2004? That’s a toughie for Democrats. “(H)is popular-vote victory and near-tie in Florida have, at least with
some, left Gore with a plausible rationale for a comeback campaign in
2004.

That’s a prospect the Democrats need to mull long and hard.

For whether he campaigns as moderate New Democrat or a
tub-thumping neopopulist, if the party’s 2004 nominee concludes his
convention speech by turning to plant a lingering liplock on Tipper, the
Democrats may well have missed one of the most basic lessons from
Campaign 2000.” Boston Globe
