The article discusses the debatable issues surrounding participant political parties in the ensuing U.S. Presidential elections across ideas and ideologies, political focus and commitment to specific people's issues that they perceive, matter to them. However, in the ultimate analysis, according to a group of seven academic political forecasters, political leader Al Gore is supposed to win because the man, the campaign and the issues are unimportant: Whether the incumbent party stays in the White House all depends on the state of the economy, both actual and perceived. This alone can explain the outcome of every election since 1948.
