Dont forget where the Pubs found Willie Horton, it was Al Gore who first made the charge, and then the Pubbies used it against Dukakis.
They want Gore out, but they also want him to shut the hell up about the rest of the candidates.
Could be. But if they really wanted him to button his lip, seems they could just threaten to expose him. They must have mountains of incriminating info on him. They could also put out the word to their staunch allies, the liberal media, that coverage of Gore statements and speeches would not be "helpful." None of this has happened. In fact, he's been handed the microphone 24/7.
