...last two decades, the Democrats have won a single presidential election. If they fail to nominate Tennessee Sen. Albert Gore '69 they will most likely continue their losing streak...
...face it. Gore is the most electable of all the Democratic candidates and the one whom Republicans fear the most. Furthermore, Gore is the one candidate who stands squarely in the Democratic Party's proud tradition of international leadership, economic growth, and social justice. He promises a return to the pragmatism and hard-nosed leadership that characterized the Democratic Party of Franklin D. Roosevelt '04, Harry S. Truman, and John F. Kennedy...

Unlike Reagan, who scuttled budget talks by refusing to raise taxes or cut defense expenditures, Gore would put almost everything on the table. That's not to say, however, that Gore wouldn't have his own list of priorities: he'll cut spending where it doesn't endanger national security...
