Governor Picks Gore Instead of Clinton

Maryland’s Democratic Gov. Parris Glendening said it was wrong for President Clinton to have an affair with Monica S. Lewinsky, but his campaign manager insisted that’s not why the governor wants Vice President Al Gore at a fund-raiser next month instead of Clinton. Peter Hamm denied that the governor, facing a tough reelection battle against a Republican he defeated by only 6,000 votes four years ago, is trying to distance himself from the president. But he offered no explanation of why he now wants Gore instead of Clinton at the Oct. 2 fund-raiser.
