The Vice President had made the announcement a week prior that he had chosen his own vice presidential candidate. The event was being held in Nashville, Tennessee and was even attended by the one man many believed would be Gore's inevitable choice. Joe Lieberman and his wife could be seen on stage along with the Vice President, his wife Tipper, and Gore's running mate - Senator Bob Graham and his wife as well as the current President Bill Clinton and the First Lady. Joe and his wife attended the event to show unity of the party.
