No More Gore!
INSIDE REPORT
by Robert Novak


No More Gore!

WASHINGTON -- Democratic politicians are standing by Al Gore's
dogged efforts to still win the presidency in 2000. But 2004 is another matter. If
he can't make it this time, the party faithful want no part of Gore four years from
now.

The dead heat between Vice President Gore and George W. Bush led to
a quick consensus that the 2004 nomination was Gore's for the asking. In the
days immediately after the Nov. 7 election, influential Democrats assumed
Gore would be given a second chance if he lost the recount. But theirs was a
joyless resignation to the inevitable, not a vigorous affirmation of a fallen
warrior.

After one month, Democratic loyalists are no longer resigned. Rather, they
have adopted in spirit the Republican motto: No More Gore! So long as Gore
has the slightest chance to prevail in Florida, these Democrats will not speak
on the record. But many activists I have talked to confidentially ask this
question: If Al Gore could not do it in 2000 when all the stars were aligned in his
favor, how could he be expected to do any better in 2004 in challenging an
incumbent Republican president?
