Campaign

Due to its minor status in the primaries and the fact that it and Washington came in between the New Hampshire and California primaries, both major candidates only spent a small amount of time in both states.

Al Gore won all of Delaware's 3 counties, but would not receive its 22 delegates (Gore would get fifteen with seven remaining unallocated) until the caucus that happened after Bill Bradley ended his campaign. Bill Bradley lost the rest of the primaries by large margins and Al Gore would eventually lose the general election to Governor of Texas George W. Bush.
