Andrew Kohut.
Gore invited 23 voters to the Inns-
brook resort outside St. Louis to help
him practice, though he said he was an
old hand at taking real questions from
real people. In 16 years in Congress,
Gore held some 1,000 town meetings
with Tennessee constituents.
This year’s race is not only the
closest in decades but it remains
volatile, with a number of states on
the edge between Gore and Bush.
“1 would think both campaigns
would have a lot of urgency and a lot
of, you know, stress and anxiety go
ing on right now,” Daley said.
Bush has gained ground in the
race for 270 electoral votes. Head
ing into the first debate. Gore held
a narrow lead over Bush, according
to an analysis of state polls and in
terviews with consultants in both
parties. Now, it is Bush who holds
a narrow lead after Gore-leaning
states such as Pennsylvania and
Tennessee became tossups and New
Hampshire, Ohio and Louisiana
moved from the tossup category to
Bush-leaning.
Presidential historian Henry Graff
of Columbia University said the im
peratives from the last two Bush-
Gore debates still hold: Gore has to
correct the record after any Bush mis
statements of his Texas record with
out appem ing to mock or bully Bush.
And Bush “has to continue to sound
like he knows what he’s talking
about.”
It is too late for good first im
pressions.
“Oprah, Letterman, Regis have all
made these candidates familiar and
they’ve been scrutinized more care
fully and more subject to the barbs
and jokes of late-night comedians
than in any other presidential cam
paign,” said Graff.
