Who Can Beat Him ?

Gore did not campaign as a moderate.

Gore ran an "us against the powerful" populist campaign which enabled Bush to hang the L word around Gore's neck.  Clinton was critical of that strategy and those in his camp said so after the election.  His "targeted tax cuts" were not across the board and did not include repeal of the marriage penalty.  With the economy doing well he should have walked across the finish line.  He blew it.  Of course, not all of the loss can be attributed to going too far left.  He really turned off people in the first debate.  He came off as arrogant and condescending.
