The leaderships of the Hart campaigns in New Hampshire, Illinois, Florida and Washington State have come over to the Gore camp virtually en masse. In the seven debates to date, Gore's combination of self- assurance and command of substance has helped him overcome the misgivings about his age and inch upward in the polls. He is so pleased with his performance that he has added a new line to his stump...
