Good analysis by NRO writer Noemie Emery.  Gore and Ms Clinton are similar in many respects - not the least of which is the fact that neither are particularly good at politics:

"... There is a sense of deja-vu-all-over-again as Bill Clinton’s over-ambitious First Lady replays his vice president’s fate. The former VP and the former first lady have remarkable similarities. Both Gore and Hillary wanted to be president for a most of their lives, and with an uncommon ferocity. Each one’s rise through the ranks came about via family members — his father; her husband. Both rose to fame on the wings of Bill Clinton, who is proving to be a mixed blessing for both. Each began a campaign in a position of almost impregnable power, which each one subsequently (and quickly) undermined by errors of judgment and character ... "

One of the worst failings of both as candidates is the fact that they are "tone deaf",

"... Hillary’s cackle — the harsh, grating ‘caw’ she unleashes in efforts at levity — already has reached the iconic stature of Gore’s histrionic eye rolling and sighs.

During the campaign in 2000, Bill Clinton supposedly wondered aloud that Gore had gone so far in politics, while being so inept at it. The answer was that he had risen as the son of his father and as Bill Clinton’s running mate, just as Hillary rose as Clinton’s First Lady, and became a senator as his sympathetic and put-upon wife. And yet, Gore had managed to tie the election, and came, with the grace of the Supreme Court of Florida, within a few dimpled chads of becoming the president. How far can you go while being a really bad politician?

Well, we may be about to find out."
