check out today's NYT on line - the politics section. (I can never seem to be able to copy the url from there to here, so you'll have to search it out.) It's an article about all the fuss over the super delegates and how Gore and a few others are urging other super delegates to stay uncommitted at the moment, etc. Gore is viewed, according to the article, as sort of the significant, uncommitted party elder since Bill, obviously, is committed. The article certainly makes it sound like Gore is in the thick of things, nomination-wise, at this point. Clift's article really puts an interesting spin on the whole Gore/brokered convention thing. WOW!!!
