Clinton's indiscretions had no effect on Gore, other than painting Gore as a bore...Gore would have done a lot worse had the media not been enhancing his
PR...The media skewed 2000 as they skewed 2004.
"There's one other base here, the media. Let's talk a little media bias here. The media, I think, wants Kerry to win and I think they're going to portray Kerry and Edwards I'm talking about the establishment media, not Fox. They're going to portray Kerry and Edwards as being young and dynamic and optimistic and there's going to be this glow about them, collective glow, the two of them, that's going to be worth maybe 15 points."
