BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit of the politics right now.
Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that he doesn't necessarily bring to this process?
GORE: Well, I will be offering -- I'll be offering my vision when my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I feel that it will be.
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've traveled to every part of this country during the last six years. During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system.
I don't agree with Bradley's politics, he's as liberal as they come, but...
What Gore did to him in 2000 was a disgrace, from hinting at Bradley being complicit in racial profiling, to attacking him with lies (Bradley's most common response during debates was, "Thats not true, Al").
Gore may have even sabotaged Bradley in New Hampshire, the "car accidents" on the highways that prevented Bradley counties from getting to the polls, was very unusual.
Gore still makes me sick.
