In the part one of our 2000 election episode, the impeached president Bill Clinton's Vice President Al Gore runs for the presidency and picks Joe Lieberman to try and distance himself from Clinton. Meanwhile, Republicans seek a compassionate conservative and land on George W.

Two running mates who offer relatively little strength in the one state that matters: Florida.
Starting with 1968, Lars and Michael discuss each presidential election through the lens of the vice presidential running mates.
