in some ways. The _real_ primaries (the collection of campaign
contributions) favors anyone who can rake in the bucks, whether they
have charm or not. Thus, Mondale, Dukakis, Kerry, & Gore. The real
primaries filter out anyone like Edwards, who followed a "populist"
path, and discourage people like Gore from going down that path. This
undermines the candidate's charm. If Gore had gone with his initial
"populist" leanings, he would have been much more interesting.
