Vice President Al Gore was seen as the frontrunner for the nomination, but after Bill Bradley received 36% in Iowa, raised significant money, and was catching up to Gore in the polls, many pundits believed that Bradley could defeat Gore and would use the momentum to propel himself into the nomination on Super Tuesday.
