This means Al Gore vs. Hillary Clinton. Al is now the darling of the Left (who make up the bulk of primary & caucus voters for the defeatocrats). That means Al Gore has a decent shot at winning the nomination. I would advise Mr. Gore to refrain from flying in aircraft and walking in Ft. Marcy Park.
You're not far off base.
Recall the 2000 primary races. Al Gore had the nomination wrapped up just with pre- convention super delegates. He had no competition. The dems were in a position to miss out on all that primary campaign air time.
Republicans would have had a monopoly on political news stories until the dem convention
Dem answer: beg Bill Bradley to oppose Gore. He stayed in the primaries just so dems could be in the news.
