The Gore family had its doubts about all the consultants; Gore was on his third pollster, and the campaign had changed management three times. All the exiles seemed to be leaking their side of the story to reporters. The whole thing was driving Daley, Gore's new campaign chairman, crazy...

...front in arguing that the move would bolster Gore's chances of carrying Florida--the nation's fourth most populous state--and proving he was no retroliberal on foreign policy.
