I remember that. Gore got a HUGE bounce from the convention and the coverage of his "humanizing" liplock on Tipper was probably a big reason.
Lordy that was a frustrating campaign season.

Get the full body shot: the embrace looks unbelievably awkward, iirc.

It's borne from the same, "can we relate" question that's been a major part of every cycle since Clinton's first run (+ forever). Gore was called robotic by the press, who then over-analyzed the whether and how scripted the kiss was as a means to counter that perception, etc.

I am not surprised that he got a bump for kissing her. Imagine all those middle aged sagging women watching that kiss - he convinced them that he really loved her. So sweet. :yuck

It looks like he's devouring part of her face.
