Just not the nominee you're thinking of.
Was Gore speaking like this in 2000? Because that's not how I remember it. For my money, this is much better than Obama's DNC speech - outstanding rhetoric, important instances of substance, and (a personal bugbear of mine) respectful towards opponents.
Gore's probably overselling his candidate, but it's pretty tough to argue after hearing this that there aren't important differences between Obama and the status quo, and that Obama wasn't on the right side of those differences.

Taking marching orders from the UFOs again
"In a boost for Obama, Democrat Dennis Kucinich asked his supporters to support Obama if he doesn't meet the cutoff point for voting in the caucuses." - Black America Web
"Because of rules in the Democratic Party which require a level of “viability” at each location (usually 15 percent), the “second choice” of supporters for candidates who don’t reach that threshold can be crucial. Dennis Kucinich has already publicly urged his supporters who may find themselves in that position to caucus for Edwards." - CBS News
"Kucinich has told his Iowa supporters to back Clinton if he does not top the 15 percent threshold at their caucus meetings." - The Connecticut Post
