Blindsided just four days before the start of the Democratic Convention, the Gore campaign managed to stay on course, emphasizing Clinton's remark that "no fair-minded person would blame [Gore] for the mistakes I've made." But to Gore and his advisers, the incident only highlighted the wisdom of choosing Lieberman. Before long, they'll probably be mailing free copies of his book to swing voters...

Tipper's job tonight: to pledge...
...steps, across the lawn, and up along an unusually wide stage. The President, accused of hogging the limelight in L.A., spoke for only six minutes, but made his point. Calling Gore "my partner and friend for the past eight years," Clinton told the cheering throng, "He is the right person to be the first president of the 21st century...
