Everybody had a short list for Al Gore's running mate last week. Gore himself walked the beaches of Figure Eight Island, N.C., mulling his options and making up his mind. But 400 miles away in Philadelphia, George W. Bush made the decision for him. He picked Bill Clinton. "Our current President embodied the potential of a generation," the Republican nominee said Thursday night in his convention speech. "So many talents. So much charm. Such great skill...So much promise...Instead of seizing this moment, the Clinton-Gore Administration has squandered it...And now they come asking for another chance...
...years.'" President Bush shot back on the Today show with a threat to "tell the nation what I think about him as a human being and a person." (With those words, he did.) Then Dick Cheney, who was President Bush's Defense Secretary and is candidate Bush's running mate, sidled up to the lectern in Philadelphia and said, "Mr. Gore will try to separate himself from his leader's shadow, but somehow we will never see one without thinking of the other."

His running mate: Nat Goldhaber, multimillionaire founder and former CEO of dot-com Cybergold, Inc. (Goldhaber, by the way has been diplomatically sidestepping questions about whether he will use some of his own money to boost his and Hagelin's cause.) It is not particularly complimentary to say that of the two rival tickets...
...Hagelin drafted a complaint to the FEC earlier in the week claiming Buchanan used fraudulent means to win the Reform party election. The Buchanan camp has up to 15 days to answer the charges before the FEC makes its decision, but Pat Choate, Perot's 1996 running mate and now a friend of the Buchanan campaign, feels Hagelin's complaint is a non-issue. "Pat will have certification from the duly elected party chairman and treasurer that the FEC recognizes. That's that. The money will come quick and if it doesn't, we'll just pop it in straight...
