| Description | WASHINGTON - Al Gore, the Man Who Was Almost President, would probably recoil at the idea of being compared to Richard Nixon.
But as Democrats scan the American political horizon for a candidate who can actually win in 2008, some have taken to drawing parallels between Gore and Tricky Dick.
Like Gore in the 2000 presidential race, Nixon in 1960 was a charm-free vice-president who lost a heartbreakingly close White House election (to John Kennedy). Like Gore in 2000, Nixon in 1960 drifted off into the political wilderness to lick his wounds for a time after the devastating loss. |
