And then if he really wants to be daring, removing appellate power from the Supreme Court in contest involving the presidents. There 's a lot of anger out there about this election. Gore can tap it and win with it. I think now we're trying to carry bipartisanship a little too far. I hate to make predictions.
Historians can barely agree on the past, let alone predict the future.
But, I feel pretty confident making that prediction. That doesn't mean that Al Gore won't be called in for consultation now and then. But I can't imagine he will be used in any major way. Bush might ask, but I can't imagine that Gore would accept and Bush would probably know that before he asked, so it would all be part of a Washington charade. Gov. George W. Bush has been the first to actually make it the centerpiece of his campaign.
