Clinton's selection of Gore gave the ticket needed coherence. Bentsen was well thought of in 1988 and was a loyal trooper, but it was obvious that he had at least some differences with Dukakis. Gore had a far more moderate image in 1992 than he does now. The "New Democrat" theme was essential to victory for Clinton, because at the time the Democrats needed a certain number of Southern white votes in competitive states.
