David Frum’s take on Gore’s

David Frum’s take on Gore’s decision. Frum thinks Gore was afraid of losing the nomination in 2004. As he sees it, Gore is “doing a Nixon,” letting someone else lose in 2004 and hoping to come back in 2008. The fact that Gore might well confront Ms. Clinton at that time prompts Frum’s best line, at the very end of the piece.
