...Bill Clinton in the doldrums of July 1992 announce that he was choosing Al Gore for an all-youth ticket. Four years later, Dole infused his campaign with testosterone by drafting Hall of Fame quarterback Jack Kemp for his team. In early August of 2000, Gore distanced himself from the incumbent by pairing with Clinton critic Joseph Lieberman...
