Description
Just before Election Day 2000, Al Gore figured the presidential race was his to win or lose. However, while Al Gore viewed the presidential race as a job interview, George Bush viewed it as a date. Simon provides never-before-revealed details of the rift between Clinton and Gore, including Gore’s secret plans if he had replaced Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal of 1998. ‘Sir,’ David Morehouse, his trip director, says, trying to match him stride for stride, ‘we need to go to hold.’ “Gore gives him a look that could toast bread. “With Gore now almost at the bottom of the steps and Morehouse running out of any option he can think of, he limps quickly in front of Gore and blocks his way. Gore is six-foot-two and a weightlifter, but if it is still possible to have something beneath your dignity after running for president for eighteen months, then wrestling one of your own aides to the ground is beneath his dignity.

- "Just before Election Day 2000, Al Gore figured the presidential race was his to win or lose. In the end, he did both. How did this happen? Author Roger Simon provides the first complete look at America’s most bizarre and most explosive presidential campaign - not just the final thirty-six days, but the two-year, three-way battle between George W. Bush, Al Gore, and, yes, Bill Clinton, to see who would dominate American politics."–BOOK JACKET
