Gore has a powerful instinct for the endgame, as he has shown in many budget battles, in his handling of Bosnia and above all at the end of his losing presidential bid in 1988. It was a brutal race, but he found a way to end it gracefully. More important than winning, Gore said, was "helping my party, serving my country, knowing when to keep fighting and knowing when I've been licked." Some people close to Gore saw in the results last week a popular mandate for his ideas. These were the people counseling Gore to fight...
