Al or Hillary?
Jon Chait gets the critical differences - and sees why Gore is a stronger candidate. Money quote on the Rodham game-plan:
The theory was that her centrist positions would endear her to moderates but that it wouldn't cost her on the left, because years of conservative vilification caused liberals to bond with her emotionally.
