Eric,

The man is a self-righteous, unlikeable grinch whose post-convention campaign was offered almost entirely as a gratuitous and revolting neo-Populist, borderline Marxist redistribution program.

I was puzzled by it as well. The only way I can explain it is that Gore's problem this time around was that he faced a credible competitor in Nader for the core of his party who respond very well to the "gratuitous and revolting neo-Populist, borderline Marxist redistribution program".

Running a middle of the road, don't-rock-the-boat campaign would have split the Democratic party. He kept the party together and almost won the election. It doesn't seem like much of an accomplishment, but with the US system of winner take all, the left would be totally decimated if split in half between the sane wing of Democrats and the watermelon wing (green from the outside, red from the inside).
