CASH STRAPPED: GORE CAMPAIGN MAY 'GIVE UP' ON MAJOR STATES Gore campaign officials tells Sunday's NEW YORK TIMES that they are feeling 'enormous pressure’ in the last few weeks of the election -- because they have 'less to spend' than Bush! MORE "Advisers to Gore said they would decide after the St. Louis debate whether to give up on certain major states -- Ohio and Louisiana are among the possibilities -- and pump their resources elsewhere," the TIMES is set to report. Pat Caddell, who was President Jimmy Carter's pollster, tells the paper how the Gore team must be particularly uneasy. "I'm sure the Gore people are having a very rough time after last week," he said. "They think they won the first debate, and yet everything turns sour. That has to be very debilitating." Democrats appear more distressed than Republicans about their candidate. Many Dems say Gore hit trouble after he came across as imperious in the first debate, and too timid in the second. "Al Gore, in particular, needs to change the dynamic of the race," Senator Robert Torricelli (D-NJ) tells the TIMES. "Bush has succeeded in convincing people that there are only marginal differences on issues. I know this has been a few difficult weeks for Al Gore, but it's critical that he not lose his confidence. He has to be aggressive. That's the only means of winning."
