Progressive Majority in the 2000 Elections

Examines the results of the 2000 US Presidential election from a Democratic perspective, arguing that majority support among the electorate for progressive themes and issues did not sufficiently translate to support for Al Gore. Concludes that the power and relevance of these themes was diminished in 2000 by factors such as trust, issue blurring, and a cultural reaction to the problems of Clinton's presidency.
