In the Democratic race, Al Gore and Bill Bradley are two charismatically challenged candidates that have many similarities. For example, both candidates presented a more activist and expensive role in the White House than does the current President, Bill Clinton. Also, they both come off as reformers. However, when one looks underneath the surface, it is easy to see that they have some major differences as well. On many fronts, Bradley comes off in a more traditional approach to reform that does Al Gore. The two Democratic candidates have to do a very good job of selling their philosophies to the American public.
