The Plaza holds special significance to Gore: he gave the eulogy at his father's funeral here and this summer used the space to announce his ground-breaking selection of Lieberman as a vice presidential candidate--the first Jewish candidate selected for a national ticket.
Under a light rain yesterday, workers rushed to finish the stage and the eight levels of risers for television cameras that have been under construction for a week.
Dan Gerstein '89, a spokesperson for the Lieberman campaign, told reporters that today would bring better weather for Gore's evening victory party.
"Don't worry, it'll be sunny," Gerstein told reporters yesterday. "That's how optimistic we are; it'll be sunny even at night."
