...being aggressive at protecting consumers," running mate Joe Lieberman told TIME, "I think they go together." At Team Gore's convention-planning meeting on Wednesday morning, campaign chairman Bill Daley offered the ultimate reward: 100 floor passes to anyone who could get former Treasury Secretary and gazillionaire Robert Rubin to utter the mantra, "Fight for working families."
