Al Gore was also a 2-term Senator and Representative. He may have made mistakes going into the 2000 election, but he is no political piker. Al's biggest problem, IMO, was that he played the game at too high a level for too long. He got too far away from the common folk, much like GHW Bush did in 1992. Playing backroom politics in the Senate for a dozen years is actually a pretty bad way to get yourself elected president, historically speaking.
