...among independents, a crucial group in an election some are calling as the closest since Nixon lost to Kennedy by a single Sam Giancana in 1960. Having been robbed by Gore/Lieberman of his own big convention vision - replacing Clinton/Gore with better men - Bush needs to figure out a new theme with which to sell his policies by the time the debates roll around...
Midway through the film, Gore talks about his strained relationship with politics. "I'm a lot more comfortable with the idea of rolling up my sleeves and making the system work than I am with campaigning," he says. It's a theme he returned to in his acceptance speech. "I know my own imperfections," he said. "I know I won't always be the most exciting politician. But...I will work for you every day, and I will never let you down."

This marked the campaign's first serious message derailment since last February, when Bush visited Bob Jones University while slugging it out with John McCain in the South Carolina primary. After...
...though, we return to the theme "Al Gore: Human." The candidate walks down a lane buttressed by Tipper, his kids and not one but two dogs, as the narrator intones one of the most ridiculous tag lines in the history of presidential politics. "Al Gore. Married 30 years. Father of four. Fighting for us." Al Gore. He only sleeps with his wife. He's sired babies. So why not give him the nuclear codes...
