19. He did do that in the 2000 Convention...It was a "turn off" at the time,
though. I thought the movie handled it very well in that it explained it in context whereas at the Convention...lots of folks kind of groaned because it was so personal about him...and it didn't connect in a way the movie did with why these events were important to him.
At a Convention everyone's spirits are high and his talking about his sister and son sort of seemed a "downer." (I love Gore...and am a DU'er who is hoping he will run...so don't take my comments the wrong way).
I think that the country was so tired of Clinton's personal life dragged through the mud that at the Convention when Gore did film clips ...it sort of was OTT..at least it made me cringe at the personalness of it. :shrug:
And...the RW was all over it the next day...as they usually are...but then they are always all over anything a Dem says or does,anyway.
