To describe their past relationship as frosty would be kind.
Hillary Clinton and Al Gore, who will campaign together in Florida on Tuesday in Miami, were two rising Democratic stars who reached the peak of national prominence in the reflected sunshine of Bill Clinton. Together, they gave the flawed Arkansas Governor the moral backing to survive his own political career.
But they fought for influence within the White House. And after leaving, they were in competition for their party’s money and attention as they pursued their political ambitions outside.
For Clinton, the journey she began in 2000 with her successful run for New York Senate is what set her on the path to where she finds herself now -- roughly a month from Election Day, and leading her Republican rival by a substantial margin. For Gore, the 2000 election -- which he lost after the Supreme Court decided to discontinue the Florida recount -- marked an unbelievable ending to a career in politics and a retreat from political life.
