73. Go to the election officials then...
The simple fact is if they do not say they are running, they will not be included on primary ballots, and, my expectation is - but I might be wrong because I wasn't there - the organizers intended the ballot to be a measure of strength of declared candidates.

On the "Draft Gore" website, by the way...there is a poll included that shows Bill Clinton has nearly as much support among Democrats for the next election - and he can't even legally run.

Why not include Bill Clinton on your ballot? If you want to know "true support" he would be included, wouldn't he?

I'm just saying you can't cry foul on the rules when your candidate is choosing deliberately to not follow them. Al Gore has chosen deliberately to be excluded.
