From: "Bill Mattox" 

Gore not only has associations with him, but seems to have fully absorbed
the Clinton's smash-mouthed-win-at-all-costs political philosophy. At some
point, even those who are not paying close attention begin to recognize the
pattern and grow weary of it, which seems to be occurring with Gore's
campaign. This dark side to his campaign strategy is especially highlighted
against the backdrop of his wooden persona which not only makes him look
overly scripted, but pathetically desperate as well.
