With just 9 days left in the campaign -- and many polls showing Bush
with the edge, the Gore camp needs MORE than just good economic numbers,
and is trying to make Bush's perceived lack of experience as an issue
onto itself.

on Sunday, citing the Vice President's knowledge and experience which
it said made him best equipped for the job.
