Rendell told TIME he hoped to "get the attention" of congressional pooh-bahs to keep them from "overpromising" to donors. But Democratic leaders Tom Daschle and Dick Gephardt complained to Gore campaign chairman Tony Coelho, who handpicked Rendell for the DNC post.

With an eye to the future, Eskew made sure that Gore began making peace with the former rivals he would someday need. Gore lauded Gephardt for his "passion in the service of policy" and Jesse Jackson for teaching him that "we are a richer party and a better nation when we break down barriers and fight for justice." More important than winning, Gore added, was "helping my party, serving my country, knowing when to keep...
