Their cause? Drafting Gore

[cal04]

Their posters, bumper stickers and buttons may not match, and the video footage of their favored candidate may be from a Saturday Night Live appearance, but the group of Democrats manning the Draft Gore table at yesterday's convention were no less passionate about their pick than their neighbors whose candidates were already in the race.

"I've already had my time with the other candidates," said Andrew Edwards, a state representative from Nashua who led the pro-Gore delegation. "It led me to one conclusion: that there's not enough there."

The half-dozen Draft Gore volunteers, who manned a candidate table and walked the convention floor with signs yesterday, said they're not put off by Al Gore's protestations that he won't run for president. They say the former vice president and presidential candidate hasn't ruled the possibility out, and they hope that by establishing a groundswell of support, they'll persuade him to join the competition.

Though the visible Gore contingent was small, Gore drafters said that the day had been filled with a steady trade in green Gore bumper stickers and Draft Gore buttons. They had so many requests for an army-style poster, saying "I want you to draft Al Gore," that they told interested parties they'd need to pay $5 and wait until the end of the convention.
