Al Gore, easily.
As someone else pointed out, Ralph Nader wouldn't have done half as well as he did if Al Gore would have:
A) Tried harder not to look like an uptight ass.
and B) Stuck to his environmentalist roots, rather than reforming himself into some sort of pseudopopulist.
A lot of people point to early polls of Al Gore trailing 30 points. It's not a remarkable feat if you think about it. In 1988, Bush Sn. trailed Dukakis by 23 points (or some such) after the Democratic Convention. We all see how that one turned out. I don't put a lot of stock in the fact that candidates rally from behind unless their opponent is a good one. Neither Dukakis or Bush were strong opponents.
