Al Gore, because:
1) No individuals vote belongs to anyone except for said individual. Gore is not entitled to the liberal vote, he should be expected to earn it like the rest of the candidate. Gore did a poor job of keep the base together, and it show's considering that over a quarter of a million self-identified Democrats in Florida voted for Bush.
2) Gore distanced himself from Clinton, which I would imagine hurt himself a good deal in liberal areas, such as New Hampshire.
3) CNN’s polling data said that if neither Nader nor Buchanan had run, Bush would have beat Gore 48 to 47 percent, with 4 percent who voted not voting.
4) Al Gore preformed poorly in the debates and failed to communicate a clear message.
