He did it by political instinct, by force of personality, by clearly stating his goals and repeating them again and again, and by exhibiting no other motive for his actions than the good of Texas.

They had never tried to win a presidential election that was hanging like a chad. And so they ran on instinct and adrenaline and grit, exhausted, their moods careering from absurd highs to grim lows each day, sometimes each hour. "It's peaks and valleys, peaks and valleys," says a top Gore operative. "We win every day. We lose every...
