Gore rising, Ralph sinking, Pat sunk?

my theory of Gore's rise:

1. Gore picks VP who provides:

a. disassociation from problematic Prez; b. association with more liberal views.

2. Gore peddles more of the liberal spiel, "i'm for the middle (and lower and older) classes".

3. Bush picks VP who provides another example of the priviledged instead of a contrast.

4. Bush's slowness of speech and intelligence becomes apparent on TV.

I'm more interested in polls on those who don't intend to vote. I'm especially interested in learning if Gore's recent upswing is due to him taking votes away from other canidates or if it's the result of getting the support of those who wouldn't otherwise vote. If the later then Nader's drop in the polls isn't because he's losing supporters; it's because there are more potential votes & he thus has a smaller percentage of the pie.
