>>Something else to consider. Sitting Vice Presidents tend to finish strong like Humphrey in 68 and Ford in 76. Dead wrong. First, Ford was not a sitting VP. Second, sitting DEM VP's have lost every race to directly succeed their Prez since Martin Van Buren. Third, even though your examples were off, the telling tale is that neither man was as unpopular as AlGore is (or their opponents as popular as George Bush is) and that both lost.
