Dems push campaign to get Clinton on trail
By Mimi Hall and Susan Page, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — The Gore campaign doesn't plan to use President Clinton for get-out-the-vote rallies in the closing weeks of the tight race for the White House, a decision that has sparked protests from several top Democratic leaders.

Senior Democrats say they have urged Al Gore's advisers to dispatch Clinton to help turn out the party faithful in big cities with many minority and union voters.

Yet Gore campaign strategists have resisted those entreaties, presumably for fear that the president would overshadow their candidate.

Another worry: reviving voter memories of administration scandals.

Gore senior strategist Tad Devine said Clinton will record telephone messages that will be automatically dialed to targeted households. But, he said, there are no plans for Clinton to appear at campaign rallies with Gore, as Ronald Reagan did for his vice president, George Bush, in the final days of the campaign in 1988. "I don't see a big tour," Devine said. "I don't think people view this election as a referendum on the last eight years."
