I think farmers should increase their acreage of popcorn next year.
The result was soon realized. Republican primaries were not countered by Dems on the airwaves/media. People only heard Republican anti-Democrat, anti-Gore arguments. Media had no reason to cover Al Gore, he was in no races.
Democrats quickly, maybe not so quickly, rustled up a sacrificial opponent for Al Gorbashchev, Senator Bill Bradley, and got plenty of air time thereafter.
Bernie, or some other egotist, will probably be conjured up so the Socialists get plenty of primary air time.
