...victory, House Democrats would start abandoning Gore. "People are saying, Enough is enough," a leading Democrat said Friday. "It's time to be a good loser." To buy time, Gephardt organized a Friday-afternoon conference call for Lieberman and House Democrats. About 120 phoned in to hear Lieberman's pep talk.
