Gore juggles liberal and moderate bases

By Michael Kranish, Globe Staff, 11/1/2000
-----
The bottom line is that Gore appears to have a much smaller ideological
base than Bush, and must win a sizable portion of moderates in order to
become president.

Gore may, indeed, feel he is in a no-win situation. For example, when he
travels to Oregon, he promotes himself as an environmentalist. But some in
Oregon believe Gore has caved too often on environmental issues and are
supporting Nader.

But when Gore goes to West Virginia and proclaims himself on the side of
the coal miner, he is attacked by some as being too strict on the
environment. Thus, for opposite reasons, Gore faces the possibility of losing
two of the most reliably Democratic states in presidential elections.

''This is a very frustrating moment for Gore,'' said Senator Bob Kerrey of
Nebraska, a leader of the New Democrat wing. ''He has had to appeal to
the people moving toward Nader, which tends to be the more liberal wing.''

Dear U Up U Down: I was in Tennessee last week. I was astounded by the number of Bush/Cheney signs in peoples front yards. Seems Gore is not very popular IN HIS HOME STATE. JDN
